\n\u00a0According to Chapter manager Mandy\u00a0 Sackett, “The Art Gala continues to attract new, diverse and talented artists each year. We are incredibly lucky to have a dedicated team of volunteers helping to plan and run the Art Gala again this year.”\u00a0
\nThe Art Gala remains one of the chapter\u2019s largest fundraising events of the year, providing support for chapter\u2019s programs aimed at protecting our region\u2019s oceans, waves and beaches. Last year, over $36,000 was raised at the event with 400 guests in attendance \u2013 making it, once again, the most successful Gala in the chapter\u2019s history.\u00a0
\nThese funds are used to support volunteer programs like Beach Cleanups, Rise Above Plastics, Hold On To Your Butt, No Border Sewage, Ocean Friendly Gardens, Know Your H2O, Beach Preservation, and the chapter\u2019s newly launched Ocean Friendly Restaurant campaign, which will work with restaurants to reduce their plastic footprint. The protection of San Diego County\u2019s oceans, waves and beaches would not be possible without the support of an extremely dedicated grassroots force of volunteers, and from events like the annual Art Gala \u2013 all in the name of keeping San Diego County\u2019s 70 miles of coastline “America\u2019s Finest.”
