Swimming for the Good of Turtles

Swimming for the Good of Turtles

On September 24th, our friend, Joel Virgel Vierset will swim 21 miles from Catalina Island to the California mainland to raise funds for the Turtle Conservancy.

As a marathon swimmer, I am intimately connected to the sea and its inhabitants. As such, this is an extremely important cause for me; raising awareness about it is, in fact, the principal reason that I am undertaking this challenge.“

- Joel Virgel Vierset

This fundraiser will provide compensated field trips to the Turtle Conservancy for children from economically disadvantaged schools in Ventura County, giving them access to opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Please support Joel in his efforts to raise funds for this important cause! Learn more about Joel Virgel Vierset on Instagram @virgelviersetjoel or view one of his performances here.
