About Roundhouse Fun Run for the Oceans
The Fun Run will raise money for the Roundhouse Aquarium Teaching Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and its programs which educate and inspire visitors of all ages about the oceans, marine life, the environment. The Roundhouse Aquarium programs deliver science and environmental education to students throughout the South Bay and Los Angeles community.
A few facts about the Roundhouse:
- Each year roughly 15,000 students from Pre-k through 12th grade learn about science, the oceans and environment through our education programs.
- Thanks to donors and partner programs, 80% of our on-site and outreach classes are free to the schools.
- Our volunteer program includes 100 dedicated volunteers who donate over 6,300 hours annually. About 95% are local high school students.
Funds raised by the Roundhouse Fun Run for the Oceans 2020 will support and improve the Roundhouse Aquarium’s education and volunteer programs.
Fitness, fun and for a FINtastic cause! One of my favorite aquarium events is coming up and although 2020 has been quite a storm, we have been busy swimming through the current. We've transitioned many of our programs and events to virtual platforms and have been finding ways to stay connected! It's been quite a ride but I'm proud of what our small team has accomplished. Hope you join the run and/or donate to support the aquarium! I've started a fundraising team to kick off the waves of fun!
