FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute Celebrates 50 <br />Years! <br />CAUTION: This message is from an external source. Please use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. <br />Michael, <br />Again, it was a pleasure meeting you recently, and it is always exciting to hear from proud FAU parents! <br />I am reaching out to you today with some information on opportunities related to FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic <br />Institute's 501h Anniversary. It would be wonderful to display Indian River County's support of the Institute and our work to <br />preserve the environment: <br />2021 marks 50 years of relentlessly pursuing Ocean Scierce for a Better World at Florida Atlantic University Harbor <br />Branch Oceanographic Institute, just a couple of miles south of Indian River County. 50 years of working on critical ocean <br />issues like new cancer therapies, global food security, wildlife conservation and toxic algal blooms. 50 years of ocean <br />exploration envisioned by famed inventor Edwin A. Link and founder J. Seward Johnson Sr. <br />The 501h Anniversary is a call to action for us to honor our past while rising to face the pressing issues of our future. Our <br />community, our people and our health are linked inextricably to the oceans. Consequently, our work to ensure that the <br />ocean can sustain global economies, food security, medicire and biodiversity depends on the support of community leaders. <br />We simply can't do it without you, which is why we hope you will consider becoming integral to this milestone celebration <br />through sponsorship. <br />We have created a special level of sponsorship for our community leaders to show the public your commitment to the <br />ocean research that benefits the communities you serve. At this level, we ask that our Community Leaders support us at <br />the $2,500 level. Community Leaders receive all the benefits at the Ocean Adventurer level. Please join us in this truly <br />exceptional opportunity to celebrate our history and catapult forward our next fifty years. As a sponsor, you'll be making <br />an enduring impact on the future of ocean conservation. <br />Please find a listing of celebratory events and spcnsorship opportunities attached.
