The Green Gala is CEC’s premiere annual fundraising celebration, bringing together over 250 community leaders, philanthropists, and climate activists in support of bold climate action.
This year’s theme is resilience, symbolized by the Matilija poppy, to honor our collective strength as we face intensifying environmental challenges together. Keynote speaker Los Angeles County Fire Captain Sheila Kelliher Berkoh, will share inspiring stories from the frontlines of how communities like Santa Barbara provided resources and refuge during the devastating L.A. fires.
Guests will enjoy a VIP cocktail reception, climate-smart cuisine, live entertainment, and an exclusive auction — all in support of a climate-safe future for California’s Central Coast. The After Party kicks off at 8:00 p.m., so stick around for an unforgettable night of live music by The Academy, dancing, and celebration.
