Dolphin Fundraiser

Hey Guys!

So Sunday is my very first Catalina Relay actually racing! I have an awesome team and am super excited and nervous about the whole thing! This race is going to kick off a fundraiser I am starting for dolphins all around the world. The info is below:

My boyfriend, Jimi and I will be wearing hats for this race that I have created to jump start my fundraiser to help organizations save dolphins from over fishing and extinction all over the world. Its all about preservation and conservation.

The whole reason I started this was because of the film "The Cove." If you have not already seen it - rent it, netflix it, WATCH IT! It is extremely sad, but it is the kind of knowledge that we all need in order to save some of our favorite creatures to paddle with so they can still be here in 50 years.

This project is not for profit for myself but as a fundraiser for 4 different organizations that are trying to help dolphins survive. Each hat is going to be $20.00, $2.50 is for the raw cost of the hat and $17.50 goes to the organization the hat represents.

The four organizations are as follows:

Save Japan Dolphins - the main organization represented in "The Cove" lead by Rick O'Barry - also a strong believer in freeing all captive dolphins...food for thought...
www.savejapandolphins.org

OPS - organization for ocean preservation and producers of "The Cove"

Save Taiwan Pink Dolphins - yes pink dolphins! They are only found in Taiwan regions and are endangered!

WDCS United Kingdom - Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society United Kingdom and their efforts to protect their dolphins and whales - you can even adopt a dolphin!

Jimi will be racing for the Save Japan Dolphin and I will be racing for Save Taiwan Pink Dolphins on Sunday! So if you want to check out the hats, find out more about the organizations or are interested in donating to any of these organizations by buying a hat come find us or contact us!

Thanks for your time and have fun this weekend!
