Sips & Shells - Beneath the Bay - Annual Fundraiser

Join Save Barnegat Bay as we celebrate the beautiful world “beneath our bay” and the incredible supporters who help us keep it safe as part of this year’s Sips & Shells festivities!

For over half a decade SBB has worked hard to bring you our most dynamic fundraiser of the year, Sips & Shells, an event that doesn’t just support us and our work, but also one that gives back to you.

Each year we are thrilled to provide a new and exciting theme for you to enjoy as we showcase and celebrate the work, we have done to Save Barnegat Bay and protected for generationsâ€Ķ and the ways you can help!

We are ecstatic to announce that this year’s theme is Beneath the Bay!

Share the evening with us at the historic Dale Building of the Bay Head Yacht Club as we highlight the unseen wonders that make our world turn, from jellyfish and silversides to macroinvertebrates and eelgrass, there is something for everyone to discover and enjoy.

Enjoy a night of live music, fresh oysters from the Barnegat Oyster Collective, a delicious buffet, wine from Ripe Life, rum cocktails from Papa Pilar, beer from Kane Brewing Company and live and silent auctions and of course – lots of fun!

A special note regarding our silent and live auctions, so much of the incredible gifts and experiences whose bids have helped support our mission work so much, are donated to us by our incredible community. THANK YOU!

If you have a gift or experience you would like to donate to one of our auctions, please contact Maria, at mzritter@me.com for information on how you can elevate our event and receive a donation receipt for your taxes!

The party is on July 11th 2025, so don’t miss out on what’s sure to be the talk of the Bay!
