Thank You Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who has given their support at the Ritual Tavern and in the Humanity Calls Tournament! Through contributions from Ritual Tavern sales and turtle adoptions we earned more the $500 for the Sea Turtle Fund! We ended up in 17th place in the Humanity Calls Tournament and received $120 in donations,  which means we will get a portion of the $63,000 from the tournament! These have both been great successes for Pro Peninsula and we really appreciate all the support everyone has given! - AMY

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

How to HELP the Sea Turtles in the Gulf!

The BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico is still spilling 210,000 gallons of oil into the water every day! This is a serious problem for all marine life, especially the Kemp Ridley sea turtles that use the area as their only nesting grounds. So far there have been 278 sea turtles found, either dead or stranded, along the coasts of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana.



The good news is that You can help today by donating to The Ocean Foundation’s Sea Turtle Fund or by adopting a sea turtle through Pro Peninsula! All turtle adoptions and donations made to The Ocean Foundation’s Sea Turtle Fund during June-August 2010 will be directed to conservation efforts directly relating to recovering sea turtles harmed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.


Pro Peninsula has also partnered with The Ritual Tavern Restaurant & Bar to help raise money for the Sea Turtle Fund! On June 22nd from 5:30 to closing the Ritual Tavern will donate 25% of proceeds from sales to The Sea Turtle Fund! If you plan on going out to eat anyways, come to the Ritual Tavern  and know that you will being enjoying good food and helping the sea turtles in the Gulf!
