Well, it doesn't get much closer than this. Volunteer crew members at the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber are scrambling around looking for loose change to see if we can crack the magic $17,000 barrier in the Michael Kane Challenge. Barring the accumulation and discovery of a significant amount of spare change . . .
YOU CAN HELP!!!!
You could actually (finally) make a contribution. All the monies raised go to help fund the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber, a vital safety net for those who dive (or have acquaintances who dive) in the SoCal area.
