TURTLE TRACKS: Snazzy shells secretly placed
The Boca Grande Sea Turtle Association is proud to announce the launch of a first-of-its-kind handpainted seashell campaign. BGSTA volunteer Stephanie Sondock and her sister, Stacey Wilkanoski, began painting by hand each colorful, one of a kind, shell in January of 2022.
The two secretly started sprinkling their sea shell art all around Boca Grande at beaches, parks, the farmer’s market, shops and restaurants for spontaneous discovery.
The back of each shell states, “If this surprise made you smile, please consider sharing on our Facebook and/or Instagram pages and consider donating to the Boca Grande Sea Turtle Association at bocagrandeseaturtles.org.”
Stephanie and Stacey have created as many shells as they have smiles, raising close to $600 and counting for Boca Grande Sea Turtle Association.
If you should find that you are among the ones who have been fortunate enough to find one of these beauties, remember to smile, share and donate.
