Celebrating 25 Years!
This year, we are excited to celebrate our 25th anniversary!
On June 5, 1998, Jean Beasley filed articles of incorporation with the State of North Carolina to legally establish the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center as a non-profit organization. Named in memory of her daughter, Karen, the "KBSTRRC" would include both the existing Topsail Turtle Project and the new Sea Turtle Hospital.
On July 21, 1998, the North Carolina Secretary of State approved KBSTRRC's articles of incorporation and we officially became a non-profit organization!
Since our founding, we have protected over 2,627 sea turtle nests, treated over 1,288 sick or injured sea turtles, and educated hundreds of thousands of people about sea turtles and the importance of conserving them.
To celebrate, we are hosting approximately 25 activities and events this summer to celebrate 25 years of conserving and protecting sea turtles. You are invited to join us! Check back often for additional events and updates.
