Over 200 gathered at Sofia’s in Margate this past Saturday to continue the fight against offshore wind turbines.
The ‘Save The Shore’ fundraiser was a superb event that raised plenty of much needed funds and public awareness of DEFEND BRIGANTINE BEACH.
Katie Finnegan is the President and a founding member of Defend Brigantine Beach, a 501(c)3 charitable organization.
Save The Shore fundraiser speakers included:
- Keith Moore – Defend Brigantine Beach
- Dr. Bob Stern – President, Save LBI
- Mike Ruffu – Downbeach Coalition
- Seth Grossman – Liberty & Prosperity
- Mayor Vince Sera of Brigantine.

Countless hours of planning, weekly zoom calls and multiple group texts to merge together Brigantine, Ventnor, Margate, Longport and Atlantic City into a rousing successful fundraiser.
Thank you ladies for all your dedication. It shined thru on a cloudy day.
