Lydon & Kai's great adventure:

Save the Seas and the Seals 

They currently have raised $824 but are still accepting donations trying to reach their goal of $1,000. You witnessed Sam giving us a donation but we are so grateful to the many Kismet Community members that already made some very generous donations 

 

 

Jeannie, 

 

The boys have been fundraising all summer for the Riverhead Foundation which recently changed their name to NY Marine Rescue Center. 

 This is the organization that saved the baby seal off the beach in Kismet this past Winter. They rescue Seals and Sea Turtles all over New York State.  

 

Kai, His Grandma Sharon and I were lucky enough to be given a background tour of their facility housed at the Long Island Aquarium in May to see “Basil” the Kismet seal while she was being rehabilitated.

We were also invited to her release into the ocean this summer.

It was amazing! Later in the summer Jen Cole and I went with Lydon, his sister Riley, and Kai and we got another private tour of the facility the day they were getting read to release the last seal they had.  

 

The boys have been selling shells lemonade in compostable cups and eco friendly compostable pens in addition to 3 separate Facebook fundraisers.

Also, side note the boys have been collecting garbage off the bay and beach for years. After seeing an art exhibit Washed Ashore Art to Save the Sea we were inspired to make Art with some of the garbage we found. Last Earth Day for a school project Kai made a sea turtle and this year for the Fourth of July Parade we made a replica of Basil the Seal that was saved from the Kismet Beach our float. It was made 100% of garbage 95% of which was found on the beach and bay of Kismet. We called it Save our Seas and Seals and we won best in show.
