Proceeds will go to the organization’s efforts to restore native oysters, such as its oyster shell recycling program. The shells collected are used to build and restore oyster reefs in the lower Cape Fear River and along the coast.
Tickets can be purchased online. Cost is $70 for Coastal Federation members or $80 for nonmembers and includes two drink tickets for wine or beer, plus unlimited nonalcoholic beverages.
The online silent auction opened Tuesday. Bidders do not need to attend the event to win.
