Thank you for joining us for CEC's 2024 Green Gala.
Together, we raised over $100,000 to support our critical community work.
The evening was all about regeneration, focusing on climate-smart agriculture, a renewed venue, and the next-generation youth climate activists who will carry this work forward.
Thank you to everyone who attended for directly impacting our ability to fight climate change on California’s Central Coast. Read below for details on the event, including the many sponsors, committee members, and partners who came together to create such a powerful evening.
