Sponsorship

Ocean Connections is a 501©3 non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring conservation awareness and public action for our world’s ocean through education. Our “what you see with your eyes, you value in your heart” philosophy brings you nose to nose with marine mammals in person or virtually. These unique experiences assist in creating a sustainable future of environmental leaders, making a positive impact on the natural world, and building a community of conservation.

To increase our commitment to the community, we will be hosting our 5th Annual Turn the Tide Charity Gala on Saturday August 5th, 2023. We would be honored by your presence as our sponsors and supporters come together to enjoy an evening at a private lakeside manor in Nashotah, Wisconsin. Turn the Tide will include the unique opportunity to interact with exotic animal ambassadors from around the world, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, open bar, silent and live auction items, and many surprises you won’t want to miss!

Turn the Tide is our premier gala and one of the most important fundraisers to keep critical programs and initiatives alive at Ocean Connections. Our gala is the conservation event of the summer and attracts a highly desirable market segment attended by a multitude of our local business professionals and community members who believe in the cultural and educational benefit Ocean Connections brings locally and globally.

It is only with your continued support that we are able to do what we do. Whether your goal is conservation support, community involvement, increased brand recognition, or cause marketing, we offer a variety of customized benefits packages to develop a mutually beneficial partnership! They include but are not limited to:
