THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE
CLEAN OCEAN ACTION'S ANNUAL FAMILY LUAU MAKES A SPLASH FOR THE SEA-SON

Welcome to TFG’s premiere spotlight charity event. On May 21, we were honored to attend Clean Ocean Action's
Annual Family Luau at the Ship Ahoy Beach Club in Sea Bright. Life's a beach for the organization that works to keep
our beaches and oceans clean for future generations.

Over 300 families enjoyed the surf and turf from the gorgeous ocean vistas, beachfront activites to  the delicious
island-inspired desserts courtesy of Whole Foods Market, tropical fare by Suzette O’Brien of Gourmet Picnic, the
season's must-have seafood by Lusty Lobster and Fisherman’s Dock Co-Op, Dogfish Head and Smuttynose Summer
Pale Ales and more.

COA enthusiasts had fun in the sun—after a little rain shower, that is—
building sand castles, volleyball, dancing to the tunes of Casplash! and bidding on tons of great booty, including rare
sports memorabilia, beach cruisers, spa certificates and vacation getaways.

Mahalo to COA and their advocates for letting us be a part of their season in the sun.
