In the end…our heart and soul was you.
Because of the overwhelming outpouring of love and support from this community, we have reached our fundraising goal to save the Sea Turtle Care Center™ and our education programs through the Our World Without campaign. You gave us a tomorrow, a next week, a next month, a next decade… a future. From the entire Aquarium family: thank you!
Our Heart
Education Programming
Because of you, we’ll continue to connect with students across the globe, showing them the wonders of water, wildlife and wild places and inspiring them to become the next generation of environmental stewards.
Our Soul
Sea Turtle Care Center
Because of you, we’ll continue to rescue, rehabilitate and release sea turtles who are admitted to our Sea Turtle Care Center™. These sea turtles are ambassadors for all marine life, offering folks the opportunity to learn their stories and advocate to protect what they love.
Thank you to every individual, family and corporation for being true heroes in the fight to save the heart and soul of the Aquarium. We would like to recognize the following for donations of $5,000 or more during this campaign.
