Thank you for an inspiring evening.

We are so grateful to those who joined us last Saturday at CEC’s Green Gala, an inspiring evening of resilience, strength, and climate action.

Together, we raised more than $100,000 to help implement and accelerate bold, equitable solutions to the climate crisis, including wildfire resilience, climate leadership, community safety, and environmental advocacy.

Your partnership strengthens our resolve to meet the climate challenges ahead and propels our dedication to building a safe, resilient, and just world for generations to come.

Captain Sheila Kelliher Berkoh’s Call to Action
Keynote speaker Captain Sheila Kelliher Berkoh of the L.A. County Fire Department shared powerful stories from the frontlines and a hopeful reminder of what it takes to build resilience as a community.
“Prepare. Adapt. Connect. Transform. We must build these four pillars in ourselves and in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities. Like the Matilija poppy, we too can rise from the ashes, and together, bloom into something stronger, brighter, and more resilient than before.”
Want to join the climate movement but missed the event?

You can still support CEC!
