Akerman is proud to sponsor +Pool’s 2026 Spring Gala, a distinguished evening convening New York City’s civic, philanthropic, and business leaders to commemorate a significant milestone and advance the organization’s next chapter of impact. Through this sponsorship, Akerman underscores its commitment to supporting forward-looking initiatives that strengthen communities, expand public access, and contribute to the long-term vitality of the city and its waterways.

+Pool’s mission is centered on creating free, safe access to New York City’s waterways and expanding opportunities for recreational swimming for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Its work reflects a meaningful investment in public health, environmental stewardship, and equitable community development, helping to reimagine urban water spaces as inclusive resources for the benefit of all New Yorkers.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with +Pool Board Member Vivien Krieger and Akerman attorneys from the firm’s Land Use and Zoning and Construction Practices, reflecting the firm’s engagement with initiatives that foster civic connection, thoughtful development, and lasting community benefit.
