Onward and upward!!!!!
We've now passed $6000 on our way to $10,000 (and hopefully even beating last year's record of $22K). Thanks to the three folks listed below, we passed another thousand-dollar increment. Remember that Michael says he'll match the first $10,000 we raise dollar-for-dollar so let's keep him good to his word because when you kick in a hundred, he kicks in a hundred. When you kick in a thousand, he kicks in a thousand. Up to the first $10,000.
And, of course, it all goes to help keep our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber financially sound as part of the overall Chamber Day activities. And given the recent announcement of the unavailability of some boats (which will definitely costs the event money), the Michael Kane $10K Chamber Challenge presents a fabulous opportunity to make up some of that lost ground. But we can't do it without your help, participation and . . . bottom line . . . money.
Remember that the main event is May 2 with both Chamber Day and Chamber Evening. (The Encore will run on Monday, April 30 due to a scheduling conflict.) If you haven't booked your spots yet for Chamber Day ($75) give us a call at 310/652-4990 before your favorite boats gets sold out. If you haven't booked your table for Chamber Evening (seats are starting to go) call the same number and get yourself signed up.
Working together, we CAN make a difference and help the Chamber and divers in need of treatment, too.
Okay . . . WHO'S NEXT???????
