We’re thrilled to invite you to partner with us once again for Shell-A-Bration 2025, an unforgettable evening celebrating coastal restoration and the incredible progress made possible by our community. Mark your calendar for March 27, 2025, at the Cajun Ballroom in the Louisiana Swamp Exhibit at the Audubon Zoo!

Last year’s Shell-A-Bration was recognized as Gambit’s Staff Pick for Best Fundraiser to Attend in 2024. It’s a testament to the event’s impact and the dedication of our community to protecting Louisiana’s coastline.

As a sponsor, your support will directly benefit the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana’s (CRCL) Oyster Shell Recycling Program, which has collected over 15 million pounds of shells and constructed six oyster reefs since its inception. Your partnership will help us expand our reach and protect Louisiana’s unique coastline.
