In many ways, the Sharks Foundation isn't your traditional non-profit organization. We're affiliated with a professional sports team, have S.J. Sharkie as a spokesfish, and work in a building that holds 17,562 people. It's no wonder why we get so many questions about what we do, who we help and where our money goes (no, it doesn't go to the players salary. Check out our FAQ section below to learn more).
But like most non-profit organization's, our primary goal is to make a positive impact in our community. We thank you for your continued support in helping us achieve this goal.
Sincerely,
Jeff Cafuir
Sharks Foundation Manager
