Ice to Not Sea You

Our event is pretend you “sea,” but your impact is real.

Introducing “Ice to NOT Sea You” – where there is no place to be and nothing to “sea,” and serious scientific priorities are #1.

earth wins — And you can too!

We get it.

Temperatures are rising.

Resources are vital. 

Time is precious.

Energy is everything.

 

That’s why we’re mixing things up for our annual “Ice to Sea You” fundraising event this year, to focus directly on our science and innovative solar radiation management solution. Yes, parties are nICE, but this year it is all about saving Arctic Ice!

Earth Day is April 22, and our global celebration between now and then is as serious as our mission.

Our goal?

To raise a cool $200,000 between now and Earth Day. 

Why?

To continue vital research to make sure our solution is effective and safe in the Arctic environment.

What’s next?

To gather solid data to greenlight 2025 field studies with hollow glass microspheres in the Arctic. 

So, let’s make Earth cooler together! Remember, 100% of your gift is tax-deductible and will directly support our critical scientific advances.

Guided Hike in Restricted Preserve

Hike for eight at Jasper Ridge Preserve
description

Jasper Ridge is a unique, restricted biological preserve in the Stanford and Woodside area. Join docent Meredith McClintock for a guided hike in this beautiful, hard-to-get-into preserve. Learn
about the diverse world of bay area flora and fauna as your group of 8 explores the unique habitat. Afterwards, drive down the road to Buck’s to enjoy a $100 gift certificate for lunch or brunch. A special day for you and your nature-loving friends! Plan on about 2 – 3 hrs for the
hike. Dates to be mutually agreed upon.

You will be automatically entered for any donation of $100 or above (1 entry).

Sail the San Francisco Bay

A Scenic Outing Around Alcatraz and Angel Island for 4

We kindly invite you to allocate your usual “Ice to Sea You” or entertainment budget to support our vital research and climate modeling. It’s like turning your night out into a global adventure to preserve and restore critical Arctic sea ice, and Earth as we know it.

Forget the venue, linens, plates, food, music, drinks, and valet.

Instead you are buying precious laboratory time that will help us identify the optimal size of hollow glass microshperes for living organisms to thrive in the Arctic.
