We Have Sponsors — And They're Exactly Who We Hoped For
A note from the Synergy CAM team
Something we've been working on quietly behind the scenes is finally ready to be said out loud: the Synergy CAM Gala has its first official sponsors. And we'll be honest — we couldn't be more proud of who said yes.
These are three organizations from right here in the Tampa Bay area that share something important with us: a genuine belief that the natural world is worth protecting, celebrating, and investing in. Here's who they are.
Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife
Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife is a state and federally permitted, volunteer-run wildlife rehabilitation organization based in Odessa, Florida. Since its founding, they have rescued, rehabilitated, and released thousands of native Florida animals, from injured owls and hawks to orphaned squirrels, gopher tortoises, and more, operating entirely on donations, sponsorships, and the dedication of their volunteers, without receiving a single dollar of federal or state funding.
The work Owl's Nest does every day, quietly, without fanfare, on a five-acre property run entirely by volunteers, is exactly the kind of ground-level conservation effort that Synergy CAM exists to support. Having them in our corner on November 20th means everything.
The Florida Aquarium
The Florida Aquarium is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization actively engaged in stewardship of the natural environment, with mission programs spanning conservation, research, education, and outreach. Ranked among the top aquariums in North America, they work on multiple conservation fronts, from restoring Florida's sea turtle and coral populations to ensuring sharks continue to swim in our seas.
Sharing a table with an institution of this caliber, one that has been doing serious, sustained conservation work in Tampa Bay for decades, is not something we take lightly. We are honored by their support.
The Dalí Museum
Located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, The Dalí Museum is home to one of the most remarkable collections of a single modern artist anywhere in the world, over 2,400 works by Salvador Dalí, spanning every moment and medium of his creative life. As a nonprofit institution, their mission is grounded in education, philanthropy, and the belief that art has the power to transform how we see the world around us. They are the first and only museum in the Southeastern United States to receive a three-star rating from the international Michelin Guide.
Art, nature, and conservation may seem like separate worlds, but they have always been deeply connected. Dalí himself spent a lifetime fascinated by biology, the natural world, and the invisible structures beneath everything we see. Having The Dalí as part of this evening feels right in a way that is hard to explain and easy to feel.
To Owl's Nest, The Florida Aquarium, and The Dalí: thank you. Thank you for believing in this mission early, for lending your name to this night, and for being part of something that we genuinely believe will grow into something lasting. We don't take your trust for granted.
What's coming
This is just the beginning. More sponsors will be announced in the coming weeks, along with many other things we're not quite ready to share yet, but are very excited about. Stay close.
I n the meantime, tickets for the Gala are still available in our bio. Early Bird pricing won't last forever, and November 20th is closer than it looks.
82 days to go.
