Chasing coral turns 2!

Some people say nobody cares about second birthdays — but we beg to differ. Since commemorating our first year with this impact video, Chasing Coral’s movement to wake up the world has only grown bigger. In honor of our big day, we’re throwing a virtual birthday party with fun stories and good news from our second year in action.

Since our July 2017 release, we’ve seen community screenings organized across the globe — including recent locations like Tunisia, Dominica, Romania, Cyprus, and Kuwait! This year, our goal was to reach 2,000 screenings, and you made our birthday dreams come true! Let’s keep the momentum going to reach 3K in 2020! Sign up to host a free screening in honor of our second birthday and we’ll email you a little special something from Team Chasing Coral. Consider joining larger movements, like Climate Week in September, to make the impact of your event go even further.
