Welcome Fellow Sea Farer, Thank you for diving into the fun at the Aquarium of the Pacific’s
twelfth annual Sea Fare fundraiser! We hope you are ready for the party of the year and a culinary journey you won’t forget as you sip and savor your way through the Aquarium galleries.
The following pages serve as your guide to an evening of fun, food, and philanthropy while celebrating the Aquarium at this annual fall fundraiser. The auction tables are swimming with incredibly unique items and experiences that are only a bid away. You can also purchase a fishing “permit” at the Information Desk for your chance to make a big catch at the Go Fish opportunity game, where everyone leaves a winner. All proceeds from tonight’s fundraiser will help support the Aquarium’s numerous education, conservation, and animal care programs.
Sea Fare is made possible by your generous support and the contributions of the Aquarium’s friends. Please join us in thanking our restaurants, chefs, wineries, breweries, bakeries, event sponsors, auction donors, volunteers, and the wonderful staff of the Aquarium of the Pacific for their contribution to tonight’s festivities.
We hope you experience a night to remember, and thank you for being a part of our Aquarium family!

Jeanne Brodeur
Jeanne Brodeur served as the Vice President of Development from
2003 until 2009 when we lost our dear mentor and friend after a
valiant battle with cancer. Under her leadership, she created a culture of
philanthropy and established many programs that are still supporting
the Aquarium today. Her love of entertaining and her passion for the
culinary arts led her to create the first Sea Fare event in 2004. Her
legacy continues today as Sea Fare continues to grow and thrive. Her
friends and family from the Aquarium, from Emerson College, and
from across the country established the Jeanne Brodeur Scholarship
Fund to honor her commitment to education, children, and the ocean.
Tonight, please raise a glass and toast to Jeanne’s extraordinary life!
With special thanks to Ira Goldstone for his continuing support of Sea Fare and the Jeanne Brodeur Scholarship Fund
