Run for the Seals 2010

The Marine Mammal Center is a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates and releases sick, injured and orphaned marine mammals. Over the last 35 years, the Center has cared for more than 15,000 animals that have been found along 600 miles of Northern and Central California coastline.

As a 501 (3)(c) non-profit organization, the Center relies on 80% of its funding from individuals like you. All proceeds from "Run for the Seals" benefit the work of the Center.

"Run for the Seals" takes place at a crucial time of year for The Marine Mammal Center. Spring is pupping season for many seals and sea lions, and we rescue an average of 200 orphaned and sick Pacific harbor seal pups and northern elephant seals each year. Seal pups, although cute, are time and care intensive, but the reward of nurturing these animals back to health and seeing them return to the wild is priceless.

  • $10 buys one meal for one pup
  • $25 provides one day of medication for one pup
  • $75 provides meals and medication for one pup for one day
  • $525 provides meals, medication and supplies for one pup for one week
  • We hope you can help us reach our "Run for the Seals" $50,000 fundraising goal! Amazing marine mammal center prizes are up for grabs for the highest team, adult and child fundraisers including the chance to attend a private animal release event!

    Thank you in advance for your dedication and generosity - we couldn't do it without you.

    Anonymous $50.00 "Salacious B. Crumb was a Kowakian monkey-lizard employed as a court jester for Hutt crimelord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Known for his shrill laugh and sadistic sense of humor, Crumb started out as little more than vermin on Kwenn Space Station during the days of the Galactic Republic, eventually escaping onto a ship belonging to Jabba the Hutt. For over a dozen years he lived in Jabba's Palace, playing many tricks and practical jokes on some of the palace's regulars, and becoming one of the most disliked members of Jabba's court. He died in 4 ABY, when Jabba's sail barge exploded over the Great Pit of Carkoon. RIP, Salacious B. Crumb. Your legacy lives on."
