The future is in the hands of the next generation of environmental leaders and scientists – as surely as the young children (above) have ‘Wirake’, our inflatable whale, in their hands!
Now, more than ever in our 35 years, our programs must unite to spark change for dolphins and whales, their environment, and our community.
This year, as ‘i sea, i care’ celebrates 25 years and 10,000 Ambassadors, we face the full impact of $42,000 in council budget cuts. So far, we have not let any children down, but our cherished program is at risk.
After providing joy and wonder to many generations of children, Wirake the whale needs to retire, being held together with ‘gaffer tape’ repairs after excited students on the inside put their foot in the “wrong place”!
Our Whale out of Water and ‘i sea, i care’ programs offer powerful experiences for schools while eliminating the need for costly bus hire – a necessity that grows more significant every day.

This year, we aim to raise $120,000 to give certainty to our ‘i sea, i care’ schools, so no children miss out. Also, to fund a future-generation whale (above), that is more lifelike on the outside, and with intricate organs and a skeleton on the inside. This remarkable and durable whale will inspire thousands of children for many years to come.
Thanks to the support from generous donors Jenni and Leon, and the JMS Foundation, we now have heart-inspiring momentum towards our $120,000 goal.
Your donation has the power to reach many thousands and ignite crucial change for future generations of environmental leaders, young scientists, dolphins, whales and their environment.

Every donor to this appeal can suggest a name for our Future Generations Whale. 

Our promise to you is that we will always strive to achieve a lasting impact on behalf of our donors and the communities we serve.

We must not let our children down
