An Unforgettable Celebration

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 3rd Annual World Ocean Day Soirée, presented by The Yerrid Foundation. Together, more than 300 guests helped raise a record amount of support for conservation initiatives that protect marine wildlife and the ecosystems we all depend on.

The evening was especially meaningful as we gathered in our outdoor plaza—the future site of the next phase of our Sea Change capital campaign. This transformative expansion will bring a new habitat for an expanded colony of African penguins to The Florida Aquarium, creating inspiring opportunities for more than one million annual guests to connect with and learn about this endangered species.

Thank you to our supporters, sponsors, and guests for helping advance our shared purpose of saving wildlife. See if you were spotted in the video or photos below.

We look forward to celebrating with you again next year.
