Unite to Light Cruises on the Channel Cat
Event Raises Funds for Solar-Powered Lights for Those Without Electricity
On Thursday, November 4th, about 100 supporters of Santa Barbara-based Unite to Light enjoyed a lovely evening cruise aboard the Channel Cat while raising much-needed funding for solar-powered lights for those in the world without electricity.
Temperatures were in the mid-70’s as the mega-yacht departed the Santa Barbara harbor at sunset for this delightful cruise. Guests mingled on the various decks and in the cabin of Charlie Munger’s luxurious yacht while sampling a multitude of passed gourmet appetizers and partaking of beverages from the open bar. Some joined the captain in the large pilot house for elevated viewing of the scenic coastline and a behind-the-scenes look at navigating this colossal yacht.
On the return trip, guests comfortably gathered in the main cabin for a short presentation by Unite to Light’s President, Megan Birney, and its co-founders, John Bowers and Claude Dorais. Each explained the transformative effect these $10 lights have on those in villages in the developing world.
