For the Ocean Gala
The CFCC Chapter was able to help make sure this night, April 30th, 2022, ran smoothly by helping set up, serve food, mingle with guests, and represent the student population involved with BigPOP
Guests will enjoy dinner, cocktails, oyster bars, and music from local musicians. All of this to enjoy while bidding on our silent auction items donated by 63 generous friends of Plastic Ocean Project, Inc.
Before desert, we will premiere the 11 minute short film promoting our documentary, If the Ocean Could Talk-A voice for the N. Atlantic. This event is a fundraiser to support our film and our Ocean Friendly Establishments!
