From the Go Fund Me website:

The members of Marker 1 Community Outreach Program, Inc, in the North Florida fishing village of Steinhatchee organize a community event every summer called Scallopalooza , to kick of the very important scallop season. Our small community relies on the summer tourism that Scalloping brings. The community event has been hugely successful due to the hard work and persistence of the community and the members of this non-profit group! However, this year we need your help to make our Scollapolooza festival better than ever. 

The kids of our community don't have easy access to things like museums and aquariums, and there really is nothing more special than the kind of hands on education that museums and aquariums have to offer. We have an opportunity to bring the awesome Gulf Specimen Sea Mobile  to our festival this year, but we are inviting you to be a part of this amazing experience. The funds raised will go directly towards the rental of the Sea Mobile, and any additional funds will go towards the rock climbing wall, and other youth activities. The kids of Steinhatchee need positive outlets and bringing these great activities into town for the day will mean the world to them. 

Every penny helps! Thanks for your support, for donating and for helping us bring education and joy to the children of our community.
