In July, 450 people came out in Orange County, California, for the SeaChange Summer Party at the estate home of Bruce and Karen Cahill. The event, co-chaired by Valarie Whiting, Julie Hill and Ted Danson, raised a record
$850,000 to help protect the world's oceans.
The SeaChange Summer Party honored three conservationists: actor and board member of Conservation International, Harrison Ford; actor and Oceana board member Sam Waterston; and internationally-acclaimed
sustainability expert John Picard. The honorees received awards designed by renowned artist Dale Chihuly.
"We have done great things before in human history. We can do it again," said Ford in his acceptance speech. "Let's not let this award be an empty vessel - let's work for fundamental transformation - a real sea change in ocean policy."
The SeaChange Summer Party is the first annual Orange County event recognizing the importance of the oceans as a vital ecosystem and honoring those who are actively helping preserve its delicate habitats and wildlife.

"Tonight's special because it's the first time that Oceana's gone south. We've concentrated on the center part of Los Angeles and we're opening up the cause to help the oceans. Not that the people in Orange County weren't aware of it before but I don't think they were aware of Oceana. Now they have the opportunity to be connected with an organization that we can all get behind and support." -- Michael Rouse, Toyota USA (At 2008 SeaChange Summer Party)
