In alignment with the week of the fifth anniversary of Katrina, CitizenGulf's National Day of Action — promoted by Gulf Coast Benefit — seeks to help fishing families affected by the BP oil spill find a new, more sustainable future by providing education resources for their children.

All proceeds from the August 25th events will be donated to a special #CitizenGulf fund managed by Citizen Effect and Catholic Charities of New Orleans. Citizen Effect is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers anyone to become a philanthropist and make a direct impact on a community in need.
