Sea Turtle Inc. is thrilled to announce the 2026 Enchantment Under the Sea Gala, presented by the Sea Turtle Inc. Foundation. Join them on January 31, at the Hilton Garden Inn for a night of elegance, beauty, and fun in support of sea turtle conservation. After the resounding success of the event’s inaugural year, we’re back again, intent on making the 2026 gala even better!
“Our community showed up in an incredible way last year, and it was inspiring to see how many people believe in this mission of Sea Turtle Inc. This gala is more than a beautiful evening. It’s a chance for all of us to come together and make a real impact for sea turtles. I can’t wait to welcome everyone back for an even more unforgettable night.” said Sally Fraustro Guerra, Gala Chair and Sea Turtle Inc Foundation Board Member
“Last year’s inaugural Gala was a sold-out night that set a new standard for events on South Padre Island,” said Wendy Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Sea Turtle Inc. “We were blown away by the support and the energy in the room. This year we’re raising the bar again with even more one-of-a-kind experiences that you simply won’t want to miss. Not only is it a one of a kind event but every dollar raised goes directly to saving sea turtles and strengthening the mission of Sea Turtle Inc.”
The 2026 gala will be held in the Hilton Garden Inn ballroom. This amazing venue offers a larger space that will be filled with music, fun, and beautiful decor. There will be new live entertainment worthy of the underwater courts of Poseidon himself. A larger auction, filled with exclusive items, experiences, and more will also be available.
You can get involved by donating directly to support their mission to protect endangered sea turtles. There are sponsorship opportunities that will be displayed at the entrance to the gala. You can also donate to the auction by donating an item or experience exclusive to your brand.
Again, the event will take place on Saturday, January 31, from 6 to 10 p.m. For more information, visit the website at www.seaturtleinc.org or call (956) 761-4511. Sea Turtle Inc. can also be found on Facebook, X, Instagram and Tik Tok.
