The Mermaid Society of San Marcos–a group that uses the magic of costume to teach local children about endangered species in the rivers and springs and how to be good stewards of the city’s natural resources–recently entered into a strategic partnership with Texas State University’s McCoy College of Business in which a student led fundraising campaign produced $1,500 in order to support the group’s Eco-guardianship programming.
These funds have gotten the mermaids closer to the goal of $3,000, but Mermaid Society Executive Director July Holbrook said they hope to raise the additional funds by the summer.
“Jake Nobel reached out to me and he was a leader of an entrepreneurial student group with the McCoy Business School,” Holbrook said. “They were doing an end of the year project on fundraising and they had chosen us as their nonprofit to help raise money.”
