We’re mixing it up this year: NO TENT. NO TABLES. NO SIT-DOWN DINNER. Who needs a tent when you can transform your Frank Gehry-designed space into a hip beach resort with cabana-style seating and gourmet food stations? Mix and mingle with your friends while sipping exotic cocktails and shopping for one-of-a-kind auction items.

Tired of being forced to endure long, boring programs? We’re keeping it super short and rewarding participants with a chance to win a trip for two to Hawaii. Finally, dance the night away under the stars with live music by honoree Russ Lesser and his band, Thin Ice.

• Enjoy sustainable fare by Chef Paul Buchanan of Primal Alchemy
  
• Indulge in cocktails featuring Tito's Handmade Vodka.
  
• Get a special all-you-can-drink glass for only $20.
• Browse the silent auction must-have packages.
• Try your luck at our Mystery Wine Wall - out of 100 bottles, will you find the best one?
• Congratulate our honoree Russ Lesser for all he does for ocean life and growing scientists.
• Hatch grunion eggs with Aquarium scientists.
• Dance under the stars to Russ Lesser's band, Thin Ice.
