Love a Sea Turtle
Help Them L.AS.T. (Love a Sea Turtle) is the website of twelve-year-old Casey Sokolovic, who was a finalist in Oceana’s 2009 Ocean Hero Contest. Through her creative fundraising efforts, she has raised more than $3000 for the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Topsail Island, North Carolina. For the 2009 holiday adoption center, Oceana created a “Casey Kit” in her honor, which contains a sea turtle cookie cutter and plush turtle.
