The Coastal Bend Bays Foundation is excited to host it’s 23rd Annual Environmental Awards Banquet, where we invite the community to come together to celebrate this year’s unsung HEROES making a lasting positive impact on our Coastal Bend environment! This is our signature fundraising event of the year to help support our free community programs and all our efforts to successfully carry out our mission — raise awareness and educate about the importance of caring for our Coastal Bend’s waterways and wildlife.
We’re excited to welcome back KIII 3 News Chief Meteorologist Alan Holt as our emcee, bringing his signature energy to a night you don’t want to miss! Enjoy great company, breathtaking skyline views, live music, cocktails, exclusive access to the Caribbean Journey Exhibit, bingo, exciting raffles, silent auction, and more—all in support of a cleaner, healthier Coastal Bend.
