Your Life-Saving Gift Will Be Matched

Found with his flippers tucked tightly against his body, California sea lion Pockets looked like a sick child with a bellyache.

Pockets was battling a potentially fatal bacterial disease, leptospirosis. We've rescued nearly 500 sea lions affected by this year's intense outbreak.

With your matched gift, you’ll not only help provide the meals and advanced medical care needed to help a sea lion like Pockets recover, but also support our researchers in learning more about this disease.

Patient Release Celebration Sponsorship Opportunities

Patient Release Celebrations - $5,000 per event (2024)

Each summer, the Center holds approximately five 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 114 thousand Facebook followers. Release attendees, ranging between 100-200 people will receive pre and post event communications recognizing sponsorship.
