Why fund Southface’s mission?

Because protecting the places we love takes all of us. Southface works across Georgia and the Southeast to help people, organizations, and communities use less energy and water, reduce their environmental impact, and create healthier places to live and work. That work is connected to a bigger picture: building a future where communities can thrive while the natural places that make our region special stay wild and wonderful. That’s a vision we share with Kim Bednarek, Executive Director of Okefenokee Swamp Park and this year’s Argon Award honoree. Kim’s work brings people together around conservation, education, and the future of the Okefenokee. Her leadership in advancing the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge’s UNESCO World Heritage designation has helped bring global attention to one of Georgia and Florida’s most extraordinary natural places. Southface and the Okefenokee may represent different parts of the environmental story, but the goal is connected: taking care of the places we call home and making sure they thrive for generations to come. Join us on October 15 at the Georgia Aquarium to celebrate Kim’s leadership and help fund Southface’s work across our region. Check out event info and purchase tickets through the links in our Bio!
