WinTogether, a charitable sweepstakes platform powered by
Lottery.com, yesterday announced the launch of its most recent
philanthropic campaign, the Clean Oceans Campaign, aimed at ridding
the oceans of ghost nets and toxic plastics. The WinTogether
campaign will benefit the work of the Ocean Voyages Institute
(“OVI”), currently the world's leading organization in removing
mid-ocean plastics. Bolstered by the donations brought in through
the WinTogether campaign, OVI intends to lead one of the largest
ocean plastics clean-up efforts of its kind in history.
WinTogether seeks to support organizations positively impacting
the world, including Dollar Donation Club, the grassroots movement
and catalyst of the Clean Oceans Campaign. WinTogether hopes to
remove more than 1 million pounds of ocean plastics, a world
record, from the notorious Great Pacific Garbage Patch through
their partnership with OVI.
The WinTogether charity sweepstakes will offer weekly prizes to
participants, including a $50,000 cash prize to the Grand Prize
winner, sponsored by Lottery.com. The campaign will kick off
Monday, June 14, and end on August 31, 2021. Campaign promotions
will be led by WinTogether media affiliates, including Gannett
Media, iHeart Radio, and others.
“We could not be more excited to announce the launch of the
Clean Oceans campaign following World Oceans Day,” said Tony
DiMatteo, CEO and co-founder of WinTogether and Lottery.com. “We
believe that keeping our oceans clean is of paramount importance,
and we’ve found the best partner for the cause in Ocean Voyages
Institute. Thank you to FINTECH.TV for allowing me to make this
announcement in our interview on the NYSE floor.”
Mary Crowley, Founder and Executive Director of Ocean Voyages
Institute, emphasized the importance of having all hands on deck to
support OVI’s efforts. “We’re grateful to have the support of
WinTogether and like-minded people and organizations from around
the world supporting the urgent needs of ocean cleanups and
conservation.”
"Widespread interest in this important issue, sparked in part by
discover.film's release of The Beauty and the acclaimed Netflix
release of Seaspiracy, makes this the right campaign at the right
time," added Bart Myers, CEO of campaign partner Causes.com. "We're
excited to mobilize our tens of millions of followers to
participate in this grassroots campaign."
The announcement comes on the heels of World Oceans Day, a day
and cause aimed at collaborative conservation of the ocean across
the planet. Its global network of youth and organizational leaders
work in more than 140 countries to protect and restore the ocean
and provide free and actionable resources.
The Clean Oceans campaign follows the success of WinTogether’s
inaugural charity sweepstakes in support of the Arbor Day
Foundation. WinTogether’s “Time for Trees” campaign reached
millions of people and funded the planting of tens of thousands of
trees while awarding a Tesla Cybertruck to a campaign donor as the
Grand Prize.
