A SPECIAL SEA BAGS OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR DONORS!
We've partnered with our friends at Sea Bags Maine to create a Rippleffect large tote, lined with the nautical chart of Casco Bay -- perfect for Maine adventuring, boating season and more!
During our Annual Fundraising efforts, donations of $1,000 or more have the option to receive this tote from us as a gift of thanks.
Rippleffect Sea Bag tote is their large size, measuring 14"h x 6"w x 18"l
How to receive your Rippleffect Sea Bag: When we receive your $1000 donation, we will contact you directly to confirm you would like to receive a bag. If you make your donations before November 20th, you'll receive the bag before Christmas; donations made after November 20th will receive the bag in January.
