Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Usually held near the end of the year, a special Giving Tuesday event will take place Tuesday, May 5 as a response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. 

Now celebrating its 40th year as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the mission of Pacific Whale Foundation is to protect the ocean through science and advocacy and inspiring environmental stewardship. One-third of our funding is provided through our social enterprise, PacWhale Eco-Adventures – which has been closed since March 19 due to the COVID-19 crisis. Two-thirds is provided by people who believe in our work: Members, donors and marine mammal adopters. As we enter our third month of stay-at-home programming, we call upon our heroes to help this organization survive. We need help. Please, if you feel compelled by our work in research, education and conservation for the protection of the world’s whales, dolphins and other marine animals living wild in their natural habitat, give what you can today. Together, we are making a difference! 

Visit pacificwhale.org/auction, where you will find items such as artwork, Lilly Pulitzer reusable water bottles, commemorative shirts, dinnerware, $5 donation options and more. The event begins at 12:00am HST, Tuesday, May 5th and will end at 11:55pm HST Tuesday, May 12.
