The incredible work of our local fundraising committee has been the heartbeat of this project. This dedicated group of volunteers has organized events, secured sponsorships, and launched the “Under the Sea” mural campaign — raising over $33,000 so far through their creative and tireless efforts. The “Under the Sea” mural project continues, with sea creatures available starting at just $25. Every donation counts, and every name on that mural helps bring this legacy project to life. Thank you to everyone who’s donated, organized, volunteered, or simply cheered this along.
