Guests will enjoy exquisite dining, an open bar, a live auction featuring exclusive, one-of-a-kind experiences, and music throughout the night, all set against the Yacht Club’s breathtaking waterfront views. Join us in supporting professional live theater in Cape May and be part of a celebration that honors the past while investing in the future.
