Truematter to Auction African Eco-Safari Tickets at Charitable Oyster Roast

Columbia, SC — True Matter, LLC (truematter) will host a charity oyster roast on October 25, 2011 at historic Inglewood Manor in Irmo, South Carolina. For ticket information please email events@truematter.com. Cost is $25/single and $35/couple.

The event will feature music from local band, The Restoration, a showing of Happy Feet on the plantation lawn, oysters, heavy hors d’oeurvres and a silent auction. The headline auction items are:

• An Eco-Safari at the private African game reserve, Thula Thula
• Weekend Gatllinburg Vacation
plus many more exciting items!

Proceeds from the event will go to Oceanites (Ocean-Eye-Tees), a non-profit science and education foundation dedicated to the understanding and conservation of the world's oceans, islands, wildlife and the important and breathtaking land of Antarctica. Dean Shuster, experience design partner at truematter, has pledged to raise $30,000 in support of this charity. He will also be one of 2 people in the world to run the 2012 Antarctica Marathon on behalf of Oceanites and Antarctic conservation.

“I look forward to the excitement of running in Antarctica, but promoting the understanding and conservation of natural resources is truly the greater adventure,” Said Dean. “I’m proud to be called a friend of the penguin.”

Ron Naveen, Founder and CEO of Oceanites said, “Antarctica may seem like a harsh, foreboding place, but it’s really quite fragile. We fulfill an important responsibility when we care for virtually pristine habitat — and we’re totally grateful Dean’s going to raise awareness about penguin population changes in the vastly warming Antarctic Peninsula.”
