On January 29, Oceana's corporate supporter La
Mer invited New York City's top beauty editors to an event hosted by Oceana supporter Bettina Zilkha to announce La Mer's upcoming plans for World Oceans Day on June 8. The event was attended by distinguished guests including Oceana board member Sam Waterston, actor and supporter Jeff Goldblum and Oceana Partners Award honoree Sting.
After the event, Oceana learned of the United Nations' official designation of June 8 as World Oceans Day. In celebration of the U.N.'s designation, La Mer hosted nationwide retail events in late May and early June in Washington, DC, New York, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Guests were treated to signature La Mer treatments and 15 percent of the proceeds went to Oceana.
In addition, La Mer has designed "World Oceans Day" limited-edition Crème de La Mer, with one hundred percent of the net proceeds going toward Oceana's habitat protection initiatives.

"Look for organizations that clearly outline their objectives...For example, the group Oceana aims to protect the world's oceans from pollution and overfishing. When it launches a project, it sets a specific goal that it thinks can be accomplished in five years or less. Forget about groups that focus on raising awareness. Instead, look for ‘charities that are actually doing something, as opposed to telling people the problem exists.' -- Trent Stamp, president of Charity Navigator, which rates nonprofit groups.
