Partnership Includes Launch of First-Ever 'Fight For The Ocean'
Sweepstakes
BOCA
RATON, Fla., April 22,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 4ocean®, the world's
leading ocean cleanup company, today announced a charitable
partnership with UFC®, the world's premier mixed martial arts
organization, to further 4ocean's mission to end the ocean plastic
crisis.
"Partnerships like these have a massive
impact on the ocean plastic crisis and help us drive our mission
forward," said Alex Schulze, CEO and
Co-founder of 4ocean.
The partnership, which launches in conjunction with
Earth Day 2024, kicks off the first
Fight For The Ocean sweepstakes, where fans
enter to win a VIP trip to the UFC event of their choice and meet
UFC President & CEO Dana
White.
Based on the estimates
from 4ocean, each dollar raised
funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean. 100%
of all proceeds raised from the campaign will benefit continuous
ocean cleanups around the world through the 4ocean Foundation,
which is a global non-profit organization that employs and empowers
local communities to help end the ocean plastic
crisis.
Fans can enter the campaign online at Fight For The
Ocean with a minimum donation of $1 for one entry, up to $100 or more for multiple entries. Fans can also
enter the campaign with a mail-in entry.
"We are incredibly stoked to be partnering with UFC to make a
huge difference in the ocean plastic crisis," said Alex Schulze, CEO and Co-founder of 4ocean.
"Since 2017, we've been working with dedicated companies and
individuals like Dana White to pull
over 35 million pounds of trash from our oceans, rivers, and
coastlines. Partnerships like these have a massive impact on the
ocean plastic crisis and help us drive our mission forward."
The campaign will conclude on September
21, which is recognized as International Coastal Cleanup
Day. At the conclusion of the sweepstakes, a winner will be
randomly selected as the grand prize winner of two tickets to
attend any UFC event of their choice through 2025. The campaign
will also have an early bird grand prize each month for one winner
who has entered. Each monthly winner will receive a UFC legacy
championship replica mini desktop belt courtesy of

UFC and 4ocean will also unveil a branded bracelet series later
this year, with proceeds benefitting ocean cleanups. The bracelets
will be available for sale online at UFCStore.com and select
events.
