On June 2, the Seattle Aquarium hosted the 26th annual Splash! gala, raising more than $900,000. Guests heard from former Youth Ocean Advocate Anja as she shared that the collective impact of her fellow Youth Ocean Advocate graduates powers her optimism for the future of marine conservation. Funds raised at Splash! help ensure Aquarium outreach programs continue to create stewards of our marine environment. Special thanks to Event Chairs Cary Clark and Alex Washburn, Honorary Chairs Jim & Leslie Kerr and title sponsors, Alaska Airlines, The Boeing Company and Delta Dental of Washington.
