You can see a few of our tireless volunteers pictured across these two pages, but there are many more where they came from, going out into the communities to solicit donations, sell tickets and educate businesses about the work of local streamkeeping groups (who are also made up of volunteers). The success of our dinners starts with these people and their willingness to ask the community for support. But we'd be remiss not to mention that Foundation dinners and auctions have also relied a great deal on generous donations from businesses. For example, Finest at Sea, F.A.S. Seafood Producers has donated hundreds of thousands of in-kind seafood to dinners, along with significant financial contributions. Each dinner also has a unique tie-in with the region in which it's held, a fact that has helped the volunteer committee generate countless partnerships and relationships for the Foundation, as donors can really come to appreciate how their funds are being reinvested in the community.
