Dana Point Ocean Institute: Holiday Giving Ideas in Orange County

DANA POINT, CA — What is it about the Dana Point Ocean Institute that makes it worth donating to? The nationally renowned hands-on marine science, environmental education and maritime history museum continues to rely on giving for its programs that benefit children across Orange County.

On #GivingTuesday, we at the Ocean Institute are giving thanks for donations. Donations are not only good for the institute, but also

What do Donations up to $150 help with:

• feed our jellies and tide pool animals;
• Provide students with excursions to Catalina Island;
• Purchase supplies to build Remotely Operated Vehicles in our STEM programs

Give and Recieve:

"Those who donate $150 or more receive a host of benefits, from Whale Watching tickets to a private cocktail reception aboard an Ocean Institute Tall Ship," Dori Moorehead, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ocean Institute website. "And in the true spirit of giving, our generous friends James and Sue Swenson have offered to match every donation, allowing your gift to make twice the difference."

Donating to the Ocean Institute is just one way to share the love on #GivingTuesday.

"Every donation is crucial to our work of creating a new generation of scientists and conservationists," Moorehead said. "We thank you for coming on-board."
