ENVIROTOKEN

December 2—December 16, 2019

 

Your vote can mean thousands of dollars for ocean conservation!

How it works: now through December 16, shoppers cast ballots inside any New Leaf Community Market for their favorite local non-profit organizations. The selected non-profits are then posted near the checkout for six months (January through June 2020). Every time shoppers provide their own bag, they receive a 10¢ token to give to the group of their choice.

Please vote for the Seymour Center on your next trip to New Leaf!

THANK YOU • VOTE BY DECEMBER 16 • TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

SUPPORT OUR OCEANS—HELP LOCALS “SEYMOUR”

April 22, 2020

 

Giving Day is an energized 24-hour online fundraising drive to support UC Santa Cruz students, faculty, and campus programs—like the Seymour Center!

Give a child an opportunity to learn about the ocean. Give a senior a chance to experience a magnificent blue whale. Send a family out for a day of seaside wonder. Help a 4th grader explore ocean science. Provide a disadvantaged group with a big ocean adventure!

Your gift of $10 will pay for a Santa Cruz County resident to dive into ocean wonder at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. This small donation will provide someone with an amazing day exploring our aquarium, exhibits, and touch pools––learning about the incredible animals who help scientists study the sea.

This is your chance to make a difference for a local person AND for the ocean. Proceeds will be used to underwrite a Free Day in fall 2020. If we surpass this goal, we’ll host additional free days!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO OUR PROJECT ON GIVING DAY 2019!!
