Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is excited to invite you to an unforgettable fundraising experience that will make waves for marine life in 2025. Join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for the second annual AquaGala at Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
Tickets for AquaGala are now available exclusively through sponsorship packages.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium hosted the inaugural AquaGala on March 9, 2024, a fully immersive fundraising experience, featuring an evening of sophistication, entertainment and enlightenment unlike any other event.
If you weren’t able to attend this incredible evening and missed the chef-curated dining experience, live musical entertainment, unique animal encounters, breathtaking views and remarkable people AquaGala brought together in support of CMA’s mission to rescue and provide care for marine animals, don’t miss it next time!
You can still support our mission and help us welcome new wildlife, create new habitats and launch global conservation efforts through our Rising Tides fundraising campaign.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit CMA’s core mission: the care of our resident and rehabilitating marine animals.
CMA responds to hundreds of mammal and sea turtle strandings every year and the support of our donors helps make that possible. Please consider becoming a sponsor and help make this new fundraiser a huge success. Your generous support will allow CMA to make critical investments to ensure our institution remains a leader in marine life education, research, rescue, rehabilitation, and release.
