About This Event

So many of you have asked how you can help the University of South Florida College of Marine Science and the Florida Institute of Oceanography as they recover from the tragic fire this past weekend.  

The St. Pete Innovation District and Councilmember Gina Driscoll are hosting a fundraiser at the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub on Friday, May 15 4pm-7pm.  

We hope you can join us to lift a glass to toast our friends and colleagues as they work through the recovery process.  Its free to attend but please RSVP (see link to the left) so we have enough beer 😁 .  

If you aren't able to join us in person there is a link below to the USF fund that has been established to collect donations that will support their future efforts -DONATE NOW.  

Thanks so much for being part of this amazing community and supporting CMS and FIO!
