Join us at the South Carolina Aquarium Gala — an elegant evening celebrating care, connection and conservation — with our distinguished guest, world-renowned National Geographic photographer, author and conservationist Joel Sartore!

Known for capturing some of the most iconic wildlife portraits in the world, Joel will bring the stories behind the animals — and those entrusted with their health and habitats — to life.

This elevated evening celebrates the professionals who champion the wellbeing of every animal in our care. Guests will enjoy a thought-provoking keynote, plated dinner, open bar, immersive moments throughout the Aquarium and an after party — all included with your ticket. Cocktail attire is encouraged. Purpose is guaranteed.
