A BIG shout-out goes to the sponsors of Heal the Ocean’s 2019 Benefit at the El Paseo on October 19, 2019! Everyone is still talking about all the crazy fun that was had that night. But in addition, we raised (meaning NET) THE MOST FUNDS EVER IN OUR HISTORY OF FUNDRAISING PARTIES. We have HTO Board Director/Event Manager Heather Hudson to thank for that. After serving on HTO event committees at QAD (we were the first up there!) and Coral Casino, and El Encanto, and who knows where else, Heather simplified everything, landed us at the beautiful El Paseo Restaurant, which now feels like home to HTO annual gatherings. To top it off, this year our great honorary Event Chair (and HTO Honorary Board Member) Julia Louis-Dreyfus came to start off our evening with a great bang, and great cheer. It was the best, ever!
Thank you, dear sponsors, who continue to believe in us, contribute to our Mission, for buying seats and tables and Auction Items, and raising your paddles – as well as everything you do throughout the year - to support HTO’s fundraising efforts. To our glorious 2019 Sponsors, THANK YOU:
