Scallopalooza 2026 Recap!

Dear Friends,

Thank you for joining us for Scallopalooza.  It was an amazing evening bringing together people who care deeply about our community, our bays, and the work being done to protect it. We were thrilled to see so many friends, supporters, and new faces in the room, all connected by a shared commitment to our coastal environment.

Your presence made the evening so special. Beyond celebrating the progress we’ve made together, the event gave supporters the chance to connect with others who are passionate about protecting and improving our local waters. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together for a common purpose.

Because of your generosity, the funds raised will directly support and expand Sarasota Bay Watch programs that improve water quality, restore coastal habitats, and provide meaningful environmental education for youth while engaging community volunteers in hands-on stewardship.

If you made a pledge during the live ask, we would be grateful if you could fulfill it at your earliest convenience. Prompt fulfillment allows us to move forward with planned restoration, monitoring, and youth programs that depend on these funds. PAY MY PLEDGE
