Ocean of Support Fundraiser Benefitting University of South Florida College of Marine Science & Florida Institute of Oceanography

Join us to raise funds and support our friends and colleagues at the USF College of Marine Science and Florida Institute of Oceanography.

Join us for a special Happy Hour in support of the University of South Florida College of Marine Science and the Florida Institute of Oceanography following the devastating fire on May 2, 2026.

This gathering brings our community together to support the students, researchers, faculty, and programs impacted by the fire and to help these vital institutions continue their mission of advancing marine science, ocean innovation, and coastal resilience.

Guests will enjoy beer, light bites, and community while raising critical funds to aid recovery efforts, restore resources, and ensure the continuation of groundbreaking research and education that benefits Florida and communities around the world.

Together, we can help turn a moment of loss into an opportunity for renewed support, resilience, and investment in the future of ocean science. Join us as we raise a glass — and raise support — for the marine science community.
