The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company is proud to once again sponsor Manatee Madness to raise funds for Community Housing & Resources (CHR), which secures affordable housing for individuals and families working and living on Sanibel and Captiva.
This season’s exhibit entitled, “Manatee Madness 2.0” features both large and many smaller manatees with original themes by local artists. The Trust Company’s manatee is “PEARL” by artist Laura Conway. This is how Laura explained her inspiration for Pearl, “I was inspired to paint my manatee to look like mother of pearl inlay, because it reminded me of the pattern of water drops shimmering on the manatee’s skin as it surfaces for air. I named her Pearl because she is a jewel of the sea.”
Al Hanser, Founder and Chairman of The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company said, “When we heard that Pearl was commissioned by our dear friend, Lena Brown, whose husband Dr. Steve Brown serves as an advisor to our company, we knew she was the perfect manatee for The Trust Company.”
“The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company has always been so supportive of CHR and our affordable housing program on Sanibel,” said CHR Executive Director Melissa Rice. “We are grateful that once again they are sponsoring our manatees for a cause!” Pearl will be on display at The Trust Company from January 1st until April 1st, when she will be auctioned off at the “Manatee Madness 2.0” fundraiser at MudBugs restaurant.
