In cooperation with the Princeton chapter of the New Jersey Community Water Watch, four local restaurants are each donating a portion of their profits tonight to repairing environmental damage from recent hurricanes.
The Ferry House, Ivy Garden, Massimo's Cafe and Moondoggie Cafe will each donate between 10 and 25 percent of tonight's profit to the Sierra Club Gulf Restoration Fund, which will use the funds in part to reduce the level of air pollutants.
Water Watch's Princeton campus organizer, Lexi Gelperin, said that safeguarding the environment by rebuilding the Gulf Coast is a "major public health issue."
Ferry House Event Coordinator Melissa Dill added that "It's still necessary to rebuild in the wake of all the devastation from the hurricanes."
The fundraiser was planned by Megan Feldt '06 and Gelperin, who said they hope to raise $2,009 in honor of the Class of 2009.
The Princeton chapter of the New Jersey Community Water Watch is a subsidiary of the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group and promotes "raising awareness and motivation" to affect local environmental issues, Gelperin said.
Water Watch's next planned event, scheduled for Nov. 20, is aimed at educating children about environmental issues.

However, there were only a few Pro-Palestine protest actions, all of them sparsely attended.
