Cause for the Campus raises $450K
The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation hosted Cause for the Campus on March 2 at the Bailey Homestead Preserve on Sanibel. With the contributions of 150 supporters, it raised $450,000 for the Sanibel Sea School campus. Attendees were treated to a cocktail hour, tented dinner and live music. Through sponsorships and an auction, funds were secured for repairs and enhancements like a new roof on the front building, wraparound decking on the Kennedy Building, an outdoor learning amphitheater, a revitalized play yard area and an upgraded storage facility. Additionally, scholarship funding was secured. Thanks to the support of the Jenni & Kyle Foundation, the short film “Restoring Ocean Love” was shown that illuminated the Sanibel Sea School’s dedication to ocean conservation and education.
