16th Annual Turtle Splash
Saturday, May 1, 2021 Noon launch LIVE on Facebook
Thank you for joining us for the 16th Annual Turtle Splash to benefit children with disabilities. These past several months we’ve missed interacting with The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project community, as we know just how difficult life is right now for you and your own families. The COVID-19 health crisis has also forced many businesses to shift focus and evolve over the past year and The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project is no exception. We remain dedicated to this community and we are embracing these changes with the same passion and commitment that inspired us to create our organization in the first place 20 years ago! That said, the unique services and resources we’ve been providing over the past two decades are not going away, instead, the way we deliver them is undergoing a reinvention, and we plan to reinstate them in collaboration with our community partners as the conditions of the health crisis allow.
Because of YOUR generosity along with all of our wonderful champions for these children, we have decided to let the turtles race!!!
Because we want to be respectful of all those that have been impacted by the pandemic, we are changing up the sponsorship AND prize structure this year. It is a difficult time to ask for donations from businesses that are suffering from reductions, and we want to provide prize options that are appropriate for the world we live in at the moment. Our goal this year is focus on the WHY we are soliciting prize sponsors and the WHO that will benefit from your participation.
Every dollar raised by this event will directly benefit a child with a disability and their family through our new Morgan’s Legacy Gift program.
While The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project is evolving, it’s mission remains the same, weaving a community around the solutions required to make these lives a little bit easier. A little bit better. A little bit more connected.
From all of us at here at The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project, thank you for participating and reminding us that no matter what challenges we face, our community will always come together for the good of those that need our help the most!
It’s Turtle Splash time of year!!
Please join us for the 16th Annual Turtle Splash to benefit The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project! This is our signature annual FUNdraising event with all proceeds supporting our Quality-of-life support programs for children with disabilities. We rely on the generosity of our supporters, and this event offers a win-win for everyone:
- Your donation is fully tax deductible
- Your small donation will make a BIG impact
- You may even WIN an incredible prize
We are adding prizes every day right up until the day of the splash, and we award lots of valuable prize packages every year to our adoptive parents of our little plastic turtles. Be sure to check back often as we update our prize donations.
What is a Turtle Splash?
The idea is quite simple. People everywhere will adopt our cute little plastic numbered turtles. Our adopted rubber numbered turtles will “splash” their way to the finish line. The adoptive “parents” of the winning and placing turtles win valuable prizes. The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project gains community exposure, raises lots of money, helps children with special needs, and everyone has FUN in the process!
When does it take place?
Turtle Splash event is at NOON on Saturday, May 1, 2021. Join us for FUN pre-event festivities broadcast live on Facebook from Melbourne FL beginning at 11:45 am.

1. Turtles will be launched into the water at approximately 12:00 noon on Saturday, May 1, 2021. The organizers will establish the splash course. If necessary, we reserve the right to modify the course as needed and/or discontinue, postpone or reschedule the event because of inclement weather, acts of God or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
2. All turtles entered will be provided by and remain the property of the organizers.
3. Once the turtles are launched, they are on their way. No attempt to free or interfere with any turtle is permitted, unless deemed necessary by the splash committee. Turtles that escape the course will be disqualified.
4. Each splashing turtle will be numbered and assigned to the adopting parent’s name as it appears on the adoption certificate. The first turtles to finish will be awarded prizes in the order of their finish. Qualified winning turtles will be selected until all prizes are gone. Positive identification will be required to claim any prize won.
5. Prizes will be awarded to the adoption certificate holder who is 18 years of age or older, or their parent or legal guardian.
6. Should a winning turtle be an orphan, it will be disqualified as a prize winner and the prize will be awarded to the next qualified winning turtle.
7. Prizes are non-transferable. Organizer reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to substitute prizes of comparable value. Prizes may be subject to certain restrictions.
8. The completed entry portion of the turtle adoption certificate must be completely filled out and received by the organizer’s splashing committee prior to the start of the splash to be eligible to win a prize. Entrants assume the risk of non-delivery.
9. Adoptions may be made in person from one of our event committee members or online on our website at: https://bit.ly/3uF0DCv. Please do NOT make a donation on Facebook or other social media channels to adopt turtles!
10. No purchase is necessary in order to win. However, the organizer encourages each adoptive parent to make a tax-deductible donation for each turtle adopted. Because adoption certificates not accompanied by a donation defeat the charitable fundraising purpose of this event, only one (1) turtle adoption not accompanied by a donation may be obtained by any one person or family or household.
11. There is no limit to the number of turtles that may be adopted. Turtle numbers will be assigned randomly, and a listing of adopted turtles may be requested by writing to the organizer. Chances of winning depend on the total number of qualified adoptions.
12. Adoptive parents need not be present to win. Winners will be announced waterside on the day of the event, and notified by email or telephone. All prizes must be claimed within 30 days or forfeited.
13. Any and all taxes or similar fees are the sole responsibility of the prize winner. This event is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law.
14. By adopting a turtle, winners consent to the promotional use of their names and likenesses without additional compensation. All adoptive parents, by entering, release the organizer, its sponsors, supporters, and volunteers from any and all liability with respect to prizes.
15. All decisions and interpretations of the rules and regulations shall be made by the splash committee and its judgment will be final.
16. A list of winners may be obtained from the organizer by writing to us at 4100 N Wickham Road, Suite 107A-202, Melbourne, Fl. 32935. Please include a self addressed, stamped envelope with your request.
