FUNDRAISER FOR GLOW ACADEMY 

January 2022, Ashley Christiensen invited Chef Devin Finnegan and Ana to be part of a unique fundraising dinner for The Glow Academy of Wilmington. Prior to the dinner they shared their stories with the Culinary Students at the academy.That night they raised $125,000 for the all- girl's charter school! Shell'em Seafood auctioned off two fishing trips at $12,500 per trip. This inspiring experience has motivated Ana to give back to her community as much as she can, inpsiring girls and women to be themselves and follow their hearts.
