Your packet from Globe GRANTS will look like this

Here's how you can help the Aquarium:

• Look for the silver envelope from our friends at the Globe. (HINT: It may have already arrived.) 
• Inside you'll find a gift voucher “check” for either $50 or $100. 
• Fill in the "check" with New England Aquarium on the first line, and Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110 on the second line. 
• Use the envelope provided and return your check by April 30, 2015.

Whether you’re up to your elbows in mangrove waters trying to stroke the back of a passing epaulette shark or relaying questions to a submerged diver about the moray eel that's being fed nearby, you know that the New England Aquarium is the place to discover fresh, exciting ways to interact with marine life. The Aquarium is a non-profit organization that depends on the generosity of our friends, members and donors to support us in our mission to protect the blue planet.
