Surfrider Foundation's One Ocean Gala

August 5, 2023 | 5:00 PM

The Crow's Nest - Montauk, NY

Every year, Surfrider hosts fundraising events in support of our mission to protect the world's ocean, waves and beaches. One of these lively events will take place in August at The Crow's Nest in Montauk, NY, a beautiful property with views of Lake Montauk. The event rallies one of our largest and most dedicated communities, to celebrate coastal victories and raise critical funds to support the hard work of our coastal defenders. Most importantly, our events are the place where we continue to cultivate the friendships and vibrant networks of people who form the core of our grassroots organization.

Event guests will enjoy beautiful views, craft cocktails, silent and live auctions, live music by slenderbodies, and an incredible seated dinner prepared by The Crow's Nest's renowned culinary team. Back again, this year's event will also feature an incredible art auction -- 30 selected works curated by Charles Adler.

Our event brings together 300+ supporters, along with celebrities, media, and cultural icons from across the country who all share a passion for protecting the place we love -- our ocean.

Christina and Howard Blaustein
Selby Drummond and Steven Dubb
Greg Long
Rachelle Hruska MacPherson and Sean MacPherson
