Dedicate a gift

A gift to Heal the Bay is the perfect way to show someone how important they are while at the same time making a significant difference in our Bay. When you dedicate a donation on behalf of or in memory of a person, you can recognize an accomplishment (e.g. graduation), celebrate an event (e.g. birthday, wedding or holiday), or honor someone's memory. If you like, Heal the Bay will send notification of your dedication gift along with your personal note to the person of your choosing.

Aquadoption

Whether you foster an animal for yourself, a classroom, or a grandparent, Aquadoption at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium is a special way to connect with an animal and gain a greater understanding of the amazing ocean habitat in our Bay. Check out photos and fun facts about each of the nine local marine animals currently available. By participating in this program, you make a commitment to keeping the Santa Monica Bay and its animals healthy and safe. 

benefit event/partner

Many of our partners (companies, individuals, families, groups, and organizations), independently sponsor one-time or ongoing promotions and special events to benefit Heal the Bay. If you are planning a party, concert, auction, birthday, festival, bar mitzvah or other event, make it a truly special event by supporting Heal the Bay. If you own your own store or boutique, please consider partnering with Heal the Bay by donating a percentage of sales to support our science, education, community action and advocacy work.
