Proceeds from the benefit will go directly to the Gulf Restoration Network, a diverse 15-year old environmental non-profit network of local, regional and national groups and individuals exclusively dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural resources of the Gulf of Mexico. The GRN has members in five Gulf states: Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Texas. GRN’s independent monitoring and advocacy are critical to efforts to respond to the current oil spill crisis. (http://www.healthygulf.org)
