Surfing for Support at FisHouse

A tsunami of supporters turned up at the FisHouse for a Heal the Ocean sunset soirée to thank donors for helping raise a most impressive record $350,000 from its fourth consecutive imaginary Silver Anniversary gala.

“It’s the perfect kind of event,” enthused Hillary Hauser, president and executive director of the popular charity. “Very little overhead and very generous supporters.”

The bounteous bash with oyster, lobster, ahi tuna, and clam chowder was hosted by Tom White, owner of the popular oceanside eatery a tiara’s toss from Stearns Wharf, who is also on the charity’s board of directors.

Among the 90 guests were Mayor Randy Rowse, Laura Capps, Jean-Michel Cousteau, Harry and Randi Rabin, Gretchen Lieff, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, Hannah-Beth Jackson – just back from a visit to the Victoria Falls, Linda Krop, Pat McElroy, Greg Gorga, Heather Hudson, Eric Peterson, Hiroko Benko, and Freddy Maldonado.
