CANCELED-Evening for the Bay
We hope you have weathered the recent hurricanes and that you and your loved ones were not too significantly impacted. So many of our friends, family, and supporters have been devastated by Helene and Milton, and our heart goes out to them and our neighbors.
We have made the difficult decision to cancel our Evening for the Bay fundraising event scheduled for November 2.
The destruction to families, businesses, and the environment is overwhelming, and there are so many immediate needs in our community. We feel that these should be our collective priority.
We will post additional news and updates as our recovery continues!
Many supporters and friends have asked how Tampa Bay Watch has fared. We estimate damage to our Tierra Verde location to be $250,000 and $15,000 at our Discovery Center site. Any support you care to provide will be directed to repairs, replacement, and recovery so we can continue the important work of restoring Tampa Bay.
With Gratitude for our Sponsors:
Chip Webster and Debra Doud
Jeff Francis & Denise Griffin
Beth & John England
Larry Weiner & Yvonne Grimm
Thomas & Jolie Frankfurth
Mike & Rita Wilson
Liz & Larry Heinkel
Kathryn Howd & Edward Rucks
