Things To Do
SRQ DAILY FRIDAY WEEKEND EDITION
FRIDAY SEP 5, 2025 |
Recently, Gecko’s Hospitality Group (GHG) presented a check for $11,070 to Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium in front of the Mote Science Education Aquarium (SEA), which is set to open soon at Nathan Benderson Park. This generous donation is part of a long-standing partnership between GHG and Mote, through which proceeds from GHG’s signature philanthropic cocktail, the Shark Lady, directly support Mote’s world-class marine science research. Since the specialty drink’s launch in 2018, GHG has donated approximately $76,000 to Mote through this initiative. The Shark Lady cocktail is named in honor of Mote’s Founding Director, Dr. Eugenie “Genie” Clark. Known worldwide as “The Shark Lady,” Mote is deeply grateful for GHG’s continued support and shared commitment to advancing marine science and ocean conservation.
