Support SCCF’s bat research by attending the Mighty Mussels’ game Saturday
The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels will host “Going to Bat for Bats with the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels” this Saturday, Aug. 9. The event benefits the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s bat research program.
Five dollars from each ticket purchase to the Mussels game with the Clearwater Threshers will directly support SCCF’s bat research and conservation efforts.
SCCF wildlife biologist Mike Mills will be throwing out the first pitch at the game. Proceeds will help fund acoustic monitoring equipment to determine bat species’ presence and range on Sanibel, Captiva and surrounding islands.
Did you know Southwest Florida’s native bats provide irreplaceable pest control? Many species are capable of eating between 50% to 100% of their body weight in insects — like mosquitoes — per day!
The game starts at 6:05 p.m. at Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex. Doors open at 5 p.m. Get there early and visit the SCCF table!
