An evening for everyone who has ever loved a coastline, and wants to make sure there is still one to love in 2046.
Since 2012, the Coast Foundation has helped fund the protection of 240 miles of American coastline — through wetland restoration, sea-grass replanting, and community-led shoreline cleanups, across eleven states from Maine to the Florida Keys.
The 2026 Gala benefits two new initiatives: Project Anchor, a youth-leadership program in coastal Louisiana, and a five-year sea-grass restoration trial across Cape Cod Bay.
Every ticket is 100% tax-deductible. Tables of ten available · $40,000 and above.
For fourteen years of relentless quiet work on behalf of the American coastline.
For championing the 2024 Coastal Wetlands Restoration Act through 18 months of committee hearings.
For building the youth-leadership pipeline that will define the next decade of coastal Louisiana.
