donor spotlight The Gates Family
“Dos and I have always admired the Texas State Aquarium from afar. When I was in fifth grade, one of my favorite memories was taking a school bus from San Antonio to Corpus Christi for our big sleepover with the sharks! Dos loved visiting from Laredo when he was a kid too. When we moved to Corpus Christi, we both looked forward to attending parties and fundraisers at this transformative spot. Still, it was not until we had children that we realized what an incredible gem this Aquarium really is! Everything about the aquarium experience is created for the wonder of children and adults alike. The birthday parties are spectacular, the summer camps are magic, the fundraisers are elevated, and of course, the community outreach and animal welfare are so vital in educating the Coastal Bend and surrounding areas on the importance of conservation. South Texas is so lucky to have this in our “backyard” and we are grateful for the memories it provides our family.”
