Adopt A Sea Turtle Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone, The Greater Pine Island Chamber of Commerce’s 3rd annual wall sculpture auction was a great success.

Check back for details on our fundraiser 2024 which will be held on October 13, 2024 at the Tarpon Lodge.

********************************************************************

Last year’s auction was held on October 8, 2023 from 4:00 to 7:00 at the Tarpon Lodge and Restaurant in their outdoor Island House venue.

Twenty sea turtles were sponsored by local businesses and individuals who then commissioned the unpainted sea turtles to be painted and adorned by island artists.  The completed sea turtles were displayed in various businesses around the island until the day before the auction.  As sea turtles were completed and photographed, they were displayed here on this website, as well as information on where they can be seen.

There was previewing time, the auction, and live music by Matt Lee.

This great fundraiser helped support the Calusa Land Trust of Pine Island, and Island Businesses.

Below you can see some of our Sea Turtles that were auctioned off.
