30 reasons why you should buy a ticket to our 30th anniversary gala
How else could $1.37/day last forever?
- Heal the Bay protects our ocean. This party protects Heal the Bay.
- The dance floor is made of sand, so if you fall, no bruises.
- There is a red carpet. Except it’s blue. Like the ocean. So you can basically walk on water.
- Proceeds help us improve water quality, care for animals at our Aquarium and educate thousands of kids each year.
- We helped defeat Big Oil in Hermosa Beach in March. So yeah, we’re as ready to party as you are.
- There are things that will happen, wild and crazy things, but we can’t tell you what they are.
- The bar is of the open variety. (Insert “drink like a fish” joke here.)
- You can have a conversation with a Veep one moment and a King the next.
- It’s not a stuffy ballroom at the Century Plaza or Beverly Hilton!
