The Brick Bash, a benefit gala for UF’s Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, is Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Center for Marine Studies, along the Intracoastal Waterway in Marineland. Proceeds benefit the Whitney Lab’s Housing and Conference Center capital campaign. The evening includes dinner by chef Bill Willis, live entertainment, a one-of-a-kind silent auction, raffle and art exhibit.

A special treat for Brick Bashers is the auction of Guy Harvey’s framed original Gator painting, which he used in the design of the national championship T-shirt. Bids will start at $20,000.
