Your Giving ‘TEESday Support Moves Us One Step Closer to Our Goal

GT 2024 Save The Date

Although we didn’t reach our $45,000 Giving ‘TEESday goal, your contributions have helped us achieve so much for manatees and their habitat. Every donation was a critical puzzle piece in our mission to: 

  • Advocate for essential habitat protections to ensure safe waters for manatees.
  • Celebrate and build on 43 years of milestones in manatee conservation
  • Provide funds for emergency rescue and care for manatees in distress.

This year’s Giving ‘TEESday campaign honored decades of manatee memories and conservation successes, and your support reminds us of the dedication and passion that fuels our mission. 

While there’s still work to be done, your generosity makes a tangible difference for manatees every single day. Thank you for helping us continue our critical work to protect these gentle aquatic mammals.
