Reef Savvy Donation to St. Jude Children’s Hospital

Last year, Reef Savvy kicked off what looks to now be an annual tradition withtheir extremely generous raffle for the St. Jude “Give Thanks. Walk.” event. In that raffle, they were attempting to raise $10,000 by giving away a 50-gallon aquarium setup, and a whole bunch of other companies also dug deep to come up with a ton of other goodies to help get Reef Savvy to their goal. The raffle was a success, as that goal was not only reached, but surpassed in a big way. For 2014, Reef Savvy is back and their contribution this year looks to double what they were able to accomplish last year, with the goal this time being a whopping $20,000.
