MMC Mortgage Reduction Fund Program
Join MMC’s Pod Partners Program Today and Help to Ensure a Permanent Rehabilitation, Research, and Education Facility for Dolphins and Whales in the Upper Keys
Join MMC’s Pod Partners Program today and help MMC eliminate its mortgage debt. Our goal is to elimate our mortgage debt by January 1, 2012. This goal will enable MMC to focus its fundraising activities on building its permanent rehabilitation, research, and education facility!
Our work is made possible through support from organizations and individuals like you.
MMC closed on its property in Key Largo in March 2009, after leasing the property from the owner for many years. With the acquisition, MMC has launched its capital campaign so that it can build its permanent marine mammal rehabilitation, research, and education complex. Consistent with its commitment to our environment, MMC’s facility MC is proud will be designed and constructed ias a “green” project, with sustainable design and construction. MMC invites you to join its Pod Partners Program and make a monthly contribution to help us reach our goal to elimate the $450,000 mortgage debt by January 1, 2012.
In this very difficult economic time, MMC’s ability to obtain donations and grants is extremely challenging. For this reason, we are counting on our friends and volunteers—the heart of MMC—to help in this important endeavor.
Your monthly contribution of $5, $10 or $25 by check or paypal will help MMC to satisfy its mortgage commitment and enable MMC to focus on the care of the whales, dolphins and other marine mammals in need of our help—by continuing to respond when animals strand and by improving our facility in anticipation of their needs.
Please mail checks payable to “MMC Mortgage Fund” to:
Marine Mammal Conservancy Mortgage Fund,
Post Office Box 1625,
Key Largo, Florida 33037
The Marine Mammal Conservancy is an IRS-designated 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible as provided by law. Your assistance in this important campaign is vital and greatly appreciated.
You can also help MMC in this campaign by telling your friends, colleagues, and family members about the MMC Pod Partners Program. Many people share our commitment to the protection of marine mammals and do not know how they can help. This grassroots campaign enables everyone to participate in supporting MMC’s work, no matter how large or small the contribution the individual can make.
Thank you for your support!
Area 31 Restaurant Supports the MMC Mortgage Reduction Fund Program
Area 31, the breathtaking restaurant on the 16th floor of Kimpton’s EPIC Hotel, features seafood from its namesake region Fishing Area 31. This region is the ecologically sound marine waters of the Western Central Atlantic including the entire Florida coast, Central America and northern South America. All fish are short line caught while farm raised are farmed in sustainable waters.
Executive Chef John Critchley has launched a daily prix-fixe menu from the unique sustainable seafood locally caught in the regional waters of Area 31. While this menu is modified regularly due to careful fishing techniques, guests can expect similar selections from the five-course tasting menu, such as Smoked Kingfish Croquettes; Whitewater Clams; and Seared Texas Redfish. The sustainable seafood menu, which includes a glass of organic wine, is offered during their dinner service for $50 per person (excluding tax and gratuity).
Area 31 has committed a portion of proceeds to the Marine Mammal Conservancy (MMC) of the Florida Keys from the daily prix fixe menu.
Area 31′s generosity will support the Marine Mammal Conservancy’s rescue and rehabilitation of dolphins and whales and research and education about marine mammals and the oceans in which they live.
