The leaking oil well appears to be CAPPED!!

And that’s following a cavalcade of other good news about the Marine Sanctuary…..

We recently submitted our Impact 100 Grant application for a $114K Grant.
We’ll be submitting a $250K Grant through Pepsi’s Refresh Everything Site on August 1.
We just got our first pledge of $1,500 for our Pledge Program.

And last but not least …..there’s still time to reserve your spot for a Run For The Reef 5K T-shirt Sponsorship.     $125 for your name or your company name on the Race Shirt and $250 for your logo.

Why not celebrate all the good news by signing up today.

You can reserve your sponsorship by emailing navbms@navarrebeachmarinesanctuary.com or by phone (850-677-1875).  You can also do it online by making the appropriate donation amount on our website and noting in the additional notes section what sponsorship level to associate with your contribution.

Thanks for helping us Make Navarre Snorkelicious!!

Planning for this fall’s 2nd Annual Run For The Reef 5K is cranking up and Navarre need’s your help to make this year’s event another spectacular success.

You can help Make Navarre Snorkelicious through donating your time as a volunteer, participating in the run, or sponsoring the race.    There are plenty of opportunities to participate in this great event.  The T-Shirt alone is worth it…not to mention the after party at Juana’s.    More information about the run is on our site – just click here.

The Race Committee needs volunteers to take charge of a planning and execution of the various things that need to get done to put on the Run for the Reef 5K on October 10th.  The list below are the areas where we need a volunteer to take charge.

1. Post-Race Refreshments Coordinator
2. Registration Coordinator (Filled  – Nancy Sandler)
3. Course Director
4. Results Coordinator
5. Finish Line Coordinator
6. Start Line Coordinator
7. Aid Station Coordinator
8. T-Shirt/Amenities/Awards Coordinator

We have checklists and other information regarding what needs to be done when  – in some cases a lot of the work is already done or planned.   What we need are some folks to step up and help by taking responsibility in one of these areas for getting things done prior to the race and on race day.

This is a great way to get involved and informed about the Marine Sanctuary and the help Make Navarre Snorkelicious.

If you can help email Mark Griffith at navbms@navarrebeachmarinesanctuar.com or call at 850-677-1875.
