| Sprayground
|
| You
can provide for DRC’s future and help make
learning “cool”!
One of our donors has promised to match
all contributions so your donation will be doubled!
What is a ‘Sprayground’? Similar
to the design to the right, DRC’s Sprayground
will be an area established to give guests a place
to cool off and be more comfortable. It will also
give children an additional activity during their
visit. By installing the Sprayground, we hope to
improve the future of DRC and enhance our mission
by providing:
- Additional activities that yield greater values
for the admission price for our members and guests.
- Attractions for local families and their guests
to encourage repeat visits.
- Making learning fun! The longer someone stays
on grounds the more opportunities they have to
learn.
This new, exciting activity will of course
be done the DRC way! It will:
- Integrate whale and dolphin sounds,
- Include intelligent controllers with low
flow nozzles that manage every drop of water,
and
- Include water
recirculation and filtration and use
rainwater from DRC’s existing
reclamation system.
Many
will remember co-founders Jayne and
Mandy’s son Shawn Rodriguez
who passed from us three years ago. It
was Shawn’s personal mission
to excite, inspire and educate all young
visitors to DRC and anyone who knew him,
knew how dedicated he was to our younger
guests. Jayne, who passed away February
22nd, wished that the seed money for
the Sprayground come from the donations
that had been made in Shawn’s memory.
For these reasons the ground will be
dedicated in his name.
We need your help to make this
possible. Your contribution
will help us realize Shawn and DRC’s
dream of providing a truly fun, refreshing
and educational experience for all
our guests!

| Help DRC Support
Those In Need |
|
Dolphin
Research Center has a long tradition of reaching
out to children and adults with special needs.
They have always held a warm place in our hearts.
This is why we created the Pathways and Dolfriend programs.
Your contribution will go a long way to help us
continue to provide these programs. Thanks to the
generous support of our Chairman of the Board Peter
Lappin and his family, your contribution will be
matched for the first $5,000 so every dollar you
send will be doubled!
The Pathway and Dolfriend programs
are designed to reach out to those with special
needs and provide them with an entrance into the
dolphins’ world. Educational and recreational
activities are introduced to help increase motivation
and enhance the personalized experience. Unfortunately
these programs run at a deficit with an annual
loss of over $80,000!
