Our 22nd Annual Bash

Santa Barbara Channelkeeper is pleased to present the 22nd Blue Water Ball on March 16th at the seaside Cabrillo Pavilion. The Blue Water Ball raises critical funds that make it possible for us to protect our beaches, creeks, and coast, and defend your right to clean water and healthy habitats. Channelkeeper’s premier social gathering, it brings together ocean enthusiasts and activists, civic leaders, business owners, and public officials for a lively and memorable evening of celebration.

This event is officially sold out, but we still welcome donations. Thank you for your interest in supporting Santa Barbara Channelkeeper.

We’ll also have special guests, a multicourse dinner, local wines and brews, live music (we’re skipping a dance floor again in favor of more space to mingle), a fun raffle, auctions for art, gear, outdoor adventures, and more. Come celebrate the impact Channelkeeper is making in the community. Raise a glass with us to all that we’ve accomplished together—and to the exciting initiatives Channelkeeper has on the horizon.
