Central America
Synergy CAM's Inaugural Conservation Gala
Advancing Conservation • Empowering Communities • Inspiring Action
This November 20th, we invite you to join us at "An Evening for Central America," our conservation gala at the USF Marshall Student Center in Tampa, Florida. The evening will bring together sponsors, donors, university partners, and conservation allies for a night of dinner, a silent auction, and program highlights dedicated to funding tangible environmental impact across Central America. Every ticket and every sponsorship directly supports our upcoming initiatives: beach cleanups, tree planting, environmental education for schools, and community-driven conservation projects throughout the region.
Every dollar directly funds tangible environmental restoration across Central America.

The Live Donor Tree
A living digital monument. Each donation blooms a new amapola on the tree — a permanent recognition of the individuals fueling conservation across Central America.
We chose the amapola because it is the flower sloths feed on — and Kimuk, a symbol of hope to our organization, is the face of everything this alliance protects.
Be next — make a donation and your name will bloom on the tree as a new amapola.

The Land We Protect
Step into the forests and cloud forests we protect — the landscapes our conservation work defends. Press play to experience the sights and sounds.
Cloud Forest
Mist moves through the canopy for most of the year, and that constant moisture is what makes these forests some of the densest habitat on the isthmus.
Waterfall
Cloud-forest waterfalls feed the watersheds we help protect, fueling biodiversity corridors that stretch across the volcanic spine of Central America.
This is what your gift protects
Every donation blooms as an amapola on the live donor tree — permanent recognition on the wall that greets every guest at the gala.
The SynergyCAM Family
We are a team of young activists, all under 25, united by one mission: protecting the home that raised us. Synergy Central American Alliance was born from a simple belief — that the next generation does not have to wait for permission to lead.
We are students, athletes, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who looked at the biodiversity crisis facing Central America — from the rainforests of Costa Rica to jaguars across the isthmus — and decided to act now. Our roots span Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, and Costa Rica, and we bring that personal connection to every initiative we launch.
This gala is our inaugural step — and we invite you to be part of our story.
