Defend Brigantine Beach and Downbeach will hold a champagne brunch fundraiser April 21 to support its ongoing effort to combat offshore wind projects.
The groups represent thousands of people who are passionate about protecting the Jersey Shore. From seasonal renters to year-round residents, to owners and employees of businesses related to real estate, tourism, commercial fishing, recreational fishing and boating, these non-profit and supporters have one common goal: to keep the New Jersey coast free of the damaging effects of hundreds of industrial wind turbines that are thousands of feet tall, and planned for less than 9 miles off our coast.
Although the two Orsted projects were canceled, the Atlantic Shores offshore wind project is still moving forward. The fundraiser will support education/community outreach as well as the legal fight against offshore wind.
The brunch will take place at Provenza Restaurant and Event Center, at 5001 Wellington Ave., in Ventnor 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 21, in commemoration of Earth Day.
Local businesses wishing to sponsor or donate can contact Defend Brigantine Beach’s team by emailing: Fundraising@defendbrigantinebeach.org.
There will be speakers and live music, basket raffles and a silent auction, and an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch, all for $50 per person or $80 per couple.
