Texas State Aquarium Annual Report 2019

21

On September 25th, the Aquarium’s signature fundraiser—Beach Ball 2019, “A Night at the Aquarium,” presented by Andrews Distributing Company and Co-Chaired by Catherine Hilliard and Darcy Schroeder—was held indoors for the first time throughout the Aquarium for a magical evening. Over 625 guests enjoyed the Aquarium after

dark with cocktails and dinner, a specially choreographed dolphin show, and Bid Board and Live Auction, followed by music and dancing. A record $300,000 was raised to support construction of the new Texas Center for Wildlife Rescue, Recovery, & Research. The Aquarium is extremely grateful to our major sponsors: Andrews Distributing Company, ExxonMobil, Flint Hills Resources, H-E-B, Catherine and Bob Hilliard, Larry and Pat McNeil Foundation, Port of Corpus Christi, and Whataburger, whose generous support helped us raise vital dollars for wildlife conservation.
