Ocean’s Day Theme Night Presented by Fracht Group

In a heartening display of unity and purpose, Inter Miami CF and Fracht Group are back at it, standing together for a cause close to our hearts: saving our oceans. Fresh from their impactful beach cleanup on February 27, where 205 pounds of oceanic waste met its match, these champions of environmental stewardship unite once again for #TeamSeas.
