Our 8th Annual Make Waves Benefit to support youth environmental education was held on Thursday, October 20, 2022.  We held this event in-person for the first time in two years and had over 120 guests enjoy the celebration.

The event included:

  • Live music by pianist Elijah Bossenbroeck
  • Signature cocktails and beer from Heritage Distilling Company and Gig Harbor Brewing 
  • Delicious food from Table 47’s new chef (heavy appetizers)
  • Short program from Harbor WildWatch
  • Salish Sea Trivia with prizes 
  • Lively Raise the Paddle experience

Our goal was to raise $40,000 to support our work in the community! In total, we raised $56,000 to support our environmental education in Pierce and Kitsap Counties!
