Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed hosts a fundraiser aboard the Island Serenade on Saturday, Oct. 1. Tickets are $60.

Delta Discovery Cruises, based in Pittsburg, is teaming with the Friends for a relaxing evening on the water. Proceeds benefit Freedom High School’s FRESHH Club, an environmental stewardship organization, and Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed activities such as the creek cleanup.

Nearly 500 volunteers came out to clean up about 18 miles of local waterways, and as a result, more than four tons of trash were removed from the creek, trails and local parks. “Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed works on a very small budget and is making an effort to continue our great projects by taking on various fundraising efforts,” said Executive Director Diane Burgis.

The sunset dinner cruise will feature appetizers, samplings of award-winning wines from Bloomfield Vineyards and entertainment provided by Cadence Bay Studios. The cruise runs from 5 to 8 p.m.; boarding begins at 4:30. Tickets may be purchased through the Delta Discovery Cruises website, www.deltadiscoverycruises.com. For more information, call Burgis at 925-325-2908.
