Maris Sidenstecker II displays the shirt she designed
at age 14 in front of Monterey Bay.
|
Here it is, the tee-shirt that launched this organization over 40 years ago. MarisII designed this shirt when she was 14 years old, and had 12 of them made with money from her savings account.
She had read of the cruel way whales were slaughtered, and was moved to do something to help.
The shirt is a little threadbare, the lettering is cracked in places, and there are holes in it, but the message is true. Our purpose is to preserve and protect the ocean and its inhabitants.
When we began over 40 years ago, our focus was education.
It remains our focus to this date, and we have educated over 313,000 students with hands-on programs and untold numbers through our website and social media.
Thank you for your continuing interest and participation in our efforts; we could not do it without you.

Or, you can give in other ways -
Consider leaving a legacy to Save The Whales by making them a beneficiary of your pension plan, annuity, IRA, will, or insurance policy. You will help our efforts to educate youth with our outreach programs - teaching adults and children about the dangers facing whales and marine mammals and how each person can make a difference.
Thank you.
