Save the Oceans, Adopt a Creature for the Holidays
I am officially a proud parent or should I say grandparent of a shark! This was such a fun thing to do with the kids, and we even got a cookie cutter of a shark, which we use for not only cookies, but for play dough and tracing for pictures! 
This year Oceana has created a special gift package in honor of Casey Sokolovic, one of their youngest supporters. Casey was a finalist in the Ocean Heroes contest after she baked thousands of sea turtle cookies and held bake sales that raised over $3,000 to provide funding for a sea turtle hospital in North Carolina. In her honor they have created a special sea turtle adoption package valued at $200. For more information on Casey you can visit their Ocean hero page: www.Oceana.org/heroes.
Oceana’s Adopt a Creature set, offers online shoppers up to 6 sea creature cookie cutters and 4 sea creature plush toys they can virtually adopt in someone else’s name. Gift recipients receive an adoption certificate, creature facts and a sugar cookie recipe with the cookie cutters. You can view all creature options at http://www.oceana.org/adopt.
During the holiday season is when we need to come together the most. We believe that this program represents not only a fun gift for friends and family, but also a warm reminder of why we need to protect our oceans and all of the creatures who live in it.
