Clearwater Marine Aquarium hosted AquaGala on April 26, 2025, sharing an unforgettable evening of ocean-inspired cuisine, decor, and entertainment with our guests and community of partners supporting CMA’s mission to protect marine life.









You can still support our mission and help us welcome new wildlife, create new habitats and launch global conservation efforts by donating today.
Honorees
We honored two incredible community leaders during AquaGala. Randy Ware received the Frank Chivas Positive Impact Award, and Bridget Starr received the Winter’s Hope Award.


Proceeds from the evening will benefit CMA’s core mission: the care of our resident and rehabilitating marine animals.
CMA responds to hundreds of mammal and sea turtle strandings every year and the support of our donors helps make that possible. Please consider becoming a sponsor and help make this new fundraiser a huge success. Your generous support will allow CMA to make critical investments to ensure our institution remains a leader in marine life education, research, rescue, rehabilitation, and release.
