RESTORATION REEF PROJECT PARTNERS WITH
FGCU ON KIMBERLY’S REEF FUNDRAISER FOR CLEAN WATER
CAPE CORAL, FL, the Florida Shell Company, LLC has partnered with Florida Gulf Coast University to fundraise for the deployment of “Kimberly’s Reef.” This initiative called the “Restoration Reef Project” will raise funds for FGCU Water School’s Vester Field Station so FGCU can deploy “Kimberly’s Reef” as an innovative and local under-water reef laboratory and classroom. More information about the environmental impact of the deployment of the reef can be found on our page here, along with current photos of the development of the reef infrastructure from FGCU.
Gator Country 101.9’s Mel & Scott in the Morning will emcee the evening that will include a special presentation about the reef from Vester Field Station Director Dr. Mike Parsons. The event is sponsored by Rustys’ Raw Bar & Grill, The Florida Shell Company, LLC, Bacardi, Tunaskin, Risk Strategies, Suncoast Beverage Sales, Sysco, John R. Wood, and the Boat House Tiki Bar & Grill (The Kearns Restaurant Group). Sponsorship opportunities and the full event flyer can be found here at www.restorationreefproject.com.
There will be a silent auction that includes several amazing items including a signed guitar by country music superstar Randy Houser, artwork by widely sought after marine artist Steve Diossy, an amazing spa package from the Laser Lounge Spa, and a two-night stay with complementary breakfast as the Ritz-Carlton in Naples. (See a full list of items to date here). Live Steel Drums by Mark Dupuy will accompany a “surf and turf” dinner sponsored by Sysco.
