GLOW Coalition Hosts First Fundraiser for Save Newport Nature

September 25, 2025

Join the GLOW Coalition for an evening of music, connection, and purpose on Tuesday, Sept. 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the newly renovated Duffy Rentals space, 2001 W. Coast Hwy. in Newport Beach.

This first community fundraiser supports Save Newport Nature, a grassroots effort to preserve the 1.5-acre open space next to the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) and its preschool.

Here’s what’s planned:
• Live music by Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal and special guests
• Pizza and tray-passed bites from The Hardware House Kitchen
• Wine from Hi-Time Wine Cellars
• Beer and seltzer from Brewery X
• A first look inside the beautifully remodeled Duffy space, now Newport’s newest gathering spot

Tickets are available at SaveNewportNature.org

GLOW (Grassroots, Land, Organizing & Wellness) Coalition is a Newport Beach nonprofit working to protect local natural spaces through community organizing, education, and advocacy. Its Protect the ENC campaign is focused on stopping a proposed 30-unit development next to the ENC and preschool that would bring noise, safety issues, and the loss of a rare community resource.
