I’m very picky about what causes I choose to support with my time and money. So why have I been a board member for 17 years? Because Heal the Bay is our first and best defense for protecting local beaches and the ocean.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, supporter since 1995
Heal the Bay has consistently–and persistently–been involved with healing the ocean and making a cleaner environment, but also trying to create a community in Southern California that, I think, is second to none. Watch Greg’s video here.
Greg Webster, supporter since 2015
It makes me feel good and feel happy that I’m giving what I can to an organization I believe in and feel passionate about.
