About 450 guests attended Crystal Cove Alliance’s 10th annual gala Saturday, Sept. 22 on the bluff top overlooking Crystal Cove, which proved unforgettable and exceedingly charitable as the spectacular underwater-themed event reeled in $238,000 to help fund the alliance’s mission of restoration, education and conservation.
