2011′s Captain Planet Foundation Benefit Gala was an enormous
success. We raised over $855,000 for our children and the environment.
The money raised will help fund Captain Planet Foundation’s mission, to
support hands-on environmental projects which are designed to encourage
innovative, game-changing initiatives that will inspire and empower the
next generation of environmental stewards. I think it says so much that we raised more money this one year in
economically difficult times than we have in the last three combined! |
