SUMMARY:Marie Lamfrom Birthday Glass Float Search in Lincoln City
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the Marine Lamfrom Charitable Foundation is partnering with schools and nonprofits on the Oregon Coast to help young people visit and explore new places\, spaces\, and environments — getting out of their comfort zones. \nIn partnership with Explore Lincoln City’s Finders Keepers program — and in celebration of Marie Lamfrom’s 129th birthday — they are donating $129\,000 between Oregon coastal nonprofits and schools each time a special ‘Marie Lamfrom’ float is discovered and reported. \nElakha Alliance has been awarded FOUR yellow glass floats\, and if found and registered here\, we will be awarded $1\,000 per float! \n1) The search begins! Starting May 24\, float fairies will be hiding the MLCF yellow glass floats along the Lincoln City coastline. Floats will be hidden through the month of June\, so rally your friends\, neighbors\, and community members to go searching! Learn more about the boundaries and hiding spots here. \n2) Registering floats: Floats must be reported to and registered with Explore Lincoln City – do that here – in order for non-profits to receive funding. Remember\, only the labeled yellow floats are eligible for this program. \n3) Last call: While many floats will be found in early June\, some still are discovered months later. As such\, they will leave discovery open until July 31.
