Foundation Concert and Fundraiser
On August 9th, from 7:30pm to 10pm, the Maritime Institute sponsored the first for the National Marine Mammal Foundation at the Bali Hai. The event featured live “island music” by Eric Stone and 100% of the proceeds went to the NMMF. There was also a cash bar and a raffle, which included a captain’s course worth $1200 at the Maritime Institute.
Here are some photos from the evening. Thank you to the Maritime Institute as well as those who attended and made it possible. We made a lot of new friends and hope to see you at our next event.
