Going back in time with a retro Prom theme, SoundWaters hosted 325 colorfully clad guests at the Tall Ships Ball held in May. Riverside Yacht Club was transformed into SoundWaters High School, filled with partygoers wearing vintage formal gowns, bold tuxedos and plenty of big hair. NBC 4 New York Weather Anchor Dave Price served as event emcee, while former SoundWaters student, Leslie Guerra, was the keynote speaker. She discussed her path from a young student to a professional climate researcher. The benefit raised more than $400,000 in scholarship funds for SoundWaters, helping provide kids with an environmental education about the Long Island Sound. soundwaters.org
