The Coastal Fund 10 Year Anniversary!

The Coastal Fund would like to thank everyone who attended our 10-year anniversary reception at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum on May 15. The event was made possible by all of our wonderful supporters, and was dubbed a great success by our staff, guests, and particularly our speakers, Michael Hanrahan and Doreen Farr. Check out our 10-year anniversary recap, featured in the SB Independent!
