Noche Tropical

Local wines, a Latin-inspired meal and stories from the tropics will highlight Noche Tropical, a fundraiser benefiting the wildlife and forests of Central America on Thursday at BROOKS Restaurant in Ventura.

“This fundraiser was inspired by realizing that there are members of the local community who care deeply about the rainforests and wildlife of Central America; these include local business owners who have generously donated to support our silent auction, and, of course, Restaurant BROOKS,” said Sarah Otterstrom, founder and executive director of Paso Pacifico, a Ventura-based nonprofit dedicated to conserving and restoring tropical forests and wildlife along Central America’s Pacific Coast.
