Off the Reef Annual Benefit
March 20, 2025, 6-11 pm | Golden Gate Club at The Presidio
For more than twenty years, the International Ocean Film Foundation has used the power of visual storytelling to educate and inspire thousands of people to appreciate, protect, restore, and care for our oceans. To date, we have reached more than 280,000 global audience members of all ages.
The annual OFF THE REEF Benefit Auction directly supports education programs reaching middle school and high school students. Your support helps us continue this important work.
Each year we honor an Ocean Champion, an individual who has made an indelible impact to save our oceans. This year, we are pleased to recognize Wendy Benchley, ocean conservationist, marine policy advocate, member of the Women’s Diving Hall of Fame, and wife of the late Peter Benchley, author of JAWS.
