Congratulations to North Quincy resident Sean Harvey, who won a roundtrip ticket from JetBlue to any
domestic destination they serve from Boston’s Logan Airport in Save
the Harbor/Save the Bay and JetBlue’s 3rd annual “Simply Marble-ous”
Treasure Hunt.
Sean
found his marble on Spectacle Island with his fiancé Maria Melas during Save the
Harbor’s final free fall cruise of 2014. Sean is a Graphic Designer who moved
to North Quincy five years ago. He will be using his JetBlue ticket to visit
his wife’s sister in Santa Monica!
“Maria
and I live just a short walk from Wollaston Beach in Quincy because we both
love the beach, the harbor and the harbor islands. Thanks to Save the Harbor
and JetBlue, our trip to Spectacle Island was an experience we will always
remember.”
Sean is
the second winner in this year’s Simply Marble-ous Treasure Hunt for more than
500 marbles hidden on Boston area beaches from Nahant to Nantasket. The first winner was Tiffany Wallace-Buckley, who found her marble on
Carson Beach in South Boston with
her seven-year-old daughter during the South Boston Neighborhood House Family
Fun Night.
The
"Simply Marble-ous" Treasure Hunt began in 2012 on the beaches of
South Boston with a beach clean up sponsored by JetBlue in partnership Save the
Harbor. In just a few short hours, more than 100 people did 5 weeks worth of
work cleaning up the beaches. At the end of the day, the participants released
their marbles into the water for Boston beach-goers to find.
“The Simply Marble-ous
Treasure Hunt is a favorite among JetBlue’s more than 2,500 crewmembers in
Boston, many of whom volunteer locally for a variety of worthy causes including
Save The Harbor/Save The Bay” said Ronda Ivy McLeod, Manager of Regional
Marketing, Northeast at JetBlue. “The treasure hunt exemplifies our fun value,
while also highlighting our commitment to the city of Boston.”
Bruce Berman, Director of
Communications at Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay said, “At Save the Harbor we’re
always looking for ways to get people to take a fresh look at the Boston
Harbor. JetBlue’s support helps to make that possible. One of the reasons this
event is such a success is because JetBlue is such a great partner. Fun is one
of their core values, which you can see that in the way they treat their
community partners, employees and customers.”
While
this year’s contest is over, Save the Harbor has already begun to plan for next
year’s Simply Marble-ous Treasure Hunt, which begins on Memorial Day weekend,
so stay tuned!
