To help celebrate Surfrider Foundation's 25th anniversary, Barefoot Wine and the Surfrider Foundation have spent the summer traveling coast-to-coast cleaning and restoring 25 beaches and lakes with the help of more than 2,000 volunteers as part of their Beach Rescue Project, now in its third year. The final cleanup of the summer will take place on the Asbury Park shore prior to the benefit concert. Those volunteers who attend the beach cleanup will receive special "VIP" privileges, including entry to the VIP Lounge, complimentary food and beverage and priority views of the stage. The cleanup event is free and open to everyone; free tickets to the concert are available to those 21+ years old and must be obtained by visiting www.BeachRescueConcert.com by noon on August 29th or while tickets last. All wine sales from the concert will benefit the Surfrider Foundation to support their strategic initiatives to preserve special places.
