The Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park will host its second annual CARE on the Coast fundraiser to support sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation efforts on April 26.

The festival-style event, beginning at 3:30 p.m., aims to raise funds for the Gulfarium CARE Center’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate and release sea turtles.

Attendees will enjoy food, cocktails and live music while participating in conservation-themed activities and watching marine animal presentations, including a special dolphin demonstration.

“Visitors will hear inspiring success stories and discover ways to support the protection of endangered marine life,” according to the Gulfarium.

The fundraiser will feature educational stations, themed crafts and interactive challenges designed for families and conservation enthusiasts. A silent auction offering exclusive experiences will also take place during the event.

General admission tickets are available now, with VIP packages offering early entry and premium seating.

Tickets can be purchased at gulfarium.com/cotc.
