Patient Release Celebration Sponsorship Opportunities

Patient Release Celebrations - $5,000 per event

Each summer, the Center holds patient release celebration events at some of California's most beautiful public beaches. Each event is attended by approximately 100-200 of the Center’s most generous donors, supporters, friends, and other key stakeholders.

Your sponsorship of one patient release would include:

  • Your logo on event announcement
  • One mention in the Center's social media channels: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
  • Verbal recognition of your support during the event
  • Recognition of your company's support in post-event communications

Release celebration invitations are sent out via printed postcard and email to more than 2000 households. The Center has a highly engaged digital audience with more than 235,000 followers. Release attendees, ranging between 100-200 people will receive pre and post event communications recognizing sponsorship.

As a supporter of The Marine Mammal Center, you are part of the solution for a healthier ocean and planet for all.

For more information, or if you would like to sponsor the entire 2026 series, please contact us.
