We have chosen one of the most infamous weeks of the year, Shark Week to hold our auction. Last year 3.2 million people tuned in to Shark Week across the country.  Sharks are so important they deserve a week focused on them! Threats against sharks, such as, finning and overfishing are causing shark populations to diminish at an unsustainable rate. Media heavily influences the minds of individuals around the world and has instilled in them a fear of sharks. Shark Angels dispels the myth that sharks are man eating monsters through education and advocacy campaigns. Shark Week was created to raise awareness and respect for sharks and that is what we work to do everyday.

“We’ve been thrilled with the support from our partners and are very excited about this experiential auction,” says founder, Julie Andersen. “Like the angels – and the animals they protect – it is truly unique.” Ms. Andersen hopes the auction will earn enough to fuel Shark Angels’ innovative education and advocacy programs to protect sharks, the ocean’s apex species.  “The health of the world’s oceans depends on healthy shark populations, and every creature on earth depends on healthy oceans for survival. This is a tangible way to ensure your donations make a very real difference.”

You can help by checking out the items, bidding, spreading the link far and wide. Sharks, healthy oceans, and a committed organization dedicated to their preservation are depending on it.  “We’ve done a lot with a little. But now we need your help.” –Julie Andersen
