Near and dear to my heart, our homegrown PMMC (Pacific Marine Mammal Center) continues to operate out of little red barn in our canyon as one of the 2 busiest marine mammal hospitals in the country. Co-Founder John Cunningham still attends every single board meeting and seal/sea lion release and I’m figuring he and his team have been responsible for the rehabilitation and healthy release of at least 10,000 marine mammals over these years.

It’s an awesome legacy, and a fun gala, to boot.  On Sunday, Sept, 9th, festivities begin at The Ranch at 4:30 with cocktails and silent auction. Dinner and live auction follow with live music throughout the evening from “Yachty by Nature,” a surfside/Jimmy Buffett/Eagles sort of band that croons the tunes of the 70s and 80s.

Some Gala tickets still available.
