Include Sea Turtles at Your Special Events

Everyone has moments of their life that need celebration or remembrance. A baby's birth, a young child's passage into adulthood, two people bonding together in love, and a parent's final journey home: these are the moments of our lives that define us, that tell the world who we were, are, or will be. When your next life event comes around, why not highlight the best in you by including the Caribbean Conservation Corporation in your planning? No matter where you are in the circle of life, Caribbean Conservation Corporation has a way to make your special day a showcase of your compassion and dedication to protecting sea turtles.

Donations in lieu of Gifts

    If you already have enough toys and toasters, why not make the rewards of your special day last for years to come? Tell your guests to make tax-deductible donations to the CCC in your name, and you will help ensure the survival of one of the world's oldest creatures.

    We will provide you with invitation inserts, signs for your gift or registration table, and informational pamphlets for your guests. And sea turtles won't be the only ones receiving gifts. We'll also send you a free sea turtle adoption, which includes a special adoption kit and a one-year subscription to our popular newsletter, The Velador (Please click here to learn more about the Adopt-A-Turtle program). Plus, once we have received all of your donations, we will send you your choice of several special gifts, such as t-shirts, jewelry, and plush sea turtles.

Sea Turtle Themed Events

    In some Native-American folklore, the world rests on the back of a giant sea turtle, making sea turtles the perfect thematic foundation for your most important celebrations. From favors to place cards, we have a way to put sea turtles at every table setting.

    The most popular way of including sea turtles in your party design is to adopt sea turtles for your guests and/or attendants. For a minimum donation of $5 per guest or couple, you will receive a personalized adoption certificate and informational materials to distribute to your guests. Plus, if you make a donation of at least $20 per guest or couple, they will be eligible for a full year's membership in the CCC, which includes a special adoption kit and a free subscription to our newsletter, The Velador (Please click here to learn more about the Adopt-A-Turtle program).

    Of course, you can always choose other means of support. The CCC can print elegant place cards for your event; these can include, on the back, instructions on how to access sea turtle migration maps and CCC information. We also offer several charming party favors sure to meet your needs.

Gift Registry

    Are you or your child crazy about sea turtles? Register with CCC's online gift shop and your birthday, christening, or wedding gifts will support sea turtle conservation. Since sea turtle merchandise is notoriously difficult to find, you're sure to appreciate our wide variety of choices. From books to housewares to rare collectibles, we have something for everyone. Gift Registry Form.

Memorials

    As some of the oldest creatures in existence, sea turtles personify the cyclical dance of life. They spend their lives from nesting to nesting, circling back to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs and start the world anew. What better way to honor the life of your departed friend or loved one than by helping preserve these miraculous animals for generations to come? Request donations to CCC in lieu of flowers and you will be giving a gift that will last from season to season, long after roses and daisies would have faded away.

    CCC will provide you with signs for the registration table, informational materials, and a complimentary sea turtle adoption for the next-of-kin. If the summed donations equal $250 or more, the honoree will also have their name added to our Wall of Heroes – a memorial plaque to be housed at the H. Clay Frick Natural History Museum and Visitor Center in Tortuguero, Costa Rica or the Barrier Island Ecosystem Center in the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge in Sebastian, Florida.

"If the world goes on the way it is going, it will one day be a world without sea turtles. Some people accept this calmly, but I mistrust the prospect. Sea turtles are part of the old wilderness of the Earth--the environment in which man developed the nerves and hormones that make him human. If we let sea turtles go, it is a sign we are willing to let all wilderness go. And when that happens, we shall no longer be exactly human." -- Dr. Archie Carr.
