Come aboard the Love Boat ~ Sailing to the Caribbean! A delightful journey filled with vibrant festivities reminiscent of the classic Love Boat experience.
Join us on Friday, March 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. for our annual fundraiser taking place at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Guests will enjoy refreshing cocktails and a delightful dinner.
SBMM is pleased to honor Hiroko Benko and Sigrid Toye with the museum's prestigious Admiral's Award. Benko and Toye's contributions to the museum are immeasurable. Benko is a longtime supporter and collaborator of our education program, owner of the Condor Express, and co-chair of the Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area. Toye has contributed much as a past board president, current board member, committee member, writer for the Montecito Journal and Santa Barbara Voice Magazine, and creator of the Santa Barbara Breakwater Flags program.
For those wishing to make a gift in honor of Hiroko Benko or Sigrid Toye, please contact Emily Duncan at eduncan@sbmm.org for more information.
