Kia Motors Renews Its Support Of Pacific Marine Mammal Center And Donates An Electric VehicleTo Increase Fundraising At September Gala
Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC) today announced Kia Motors America (KMA) has renewed its sponsorship of the non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare and ocean education, and also will be donating a new Kia Soul EV. In the third year of the partnership, KMA supports the Center's efforts and environmental messaging in a multitude of ways, including last year's donation of a community outreach vehicle, participating in staff beach clean-ups, sponsoring recovering sea lion patients at the hospital, and more. Proceeds from the auction of the Kia Soul EV will support the organization's mission of marine mammal rehabilitation and education.
"PMMC is extremely honored to continue our relationship with Kia Motors," said Keith Matassa, executive director, PMMC. "Kia embodies global and local philanthropy by collaborating with PMMC to help educate the public about important conservation issues, as well as inform the public of conservation efforts that are helping our planet."
In December of 2014 and all of 2015, PMMC supported mass sea lion pup strandings in Orange County with a record influx of more than 3,400 marine mammals coming ashore along the California Coastline in desperate need of medical attention. Of these strandings, PMMC has rescued over 525 marine mammals, the most in its history. The strandings were in large part due to fish moving due to an El Nino weather pattern, which includes warmer water temperatures, no wind, no upwelling and slower currents.
"As Kia pursues its vision for a greener future, we are honored to support and collaborate with PMMC, which has rehabilitated more marine mammals than ever this year," said Tim Chaney, vice president, marketing communications, KMA. "Kia's ongoing support reflects our conscious dedication to marine and environmental education in the communities we call home."
