Yahoo!!! We're at $4000, thanks to the generosity of the individuals listed below.
As many of you knowe, the Challenge provides needed extra funds for the Chamber, outside of what we can raise through the daytime and evening events. The "problem" with those is that, since there are a finite number spots avalable on the boats and a finite number of spots available for the dinner, there's only a certain amount of money we can raise.
However . . . the Challenge is (in theory) limitless. Or at least only limited by the generosity of the diving community that relies on the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber for those "gosh-I-hope-it-never-happens-but-I'm-glad-the-Chamber-was-there" moments.
So we hope YOU accept the challenge of the Challenge and will donate whatever you can afford. Although we suggest a $100 donation, ANY amount, larger or smaller, is welcome. You can donate either by calling 310/652-4990, or by going to our secuire website (linked below) and using the on-line form.
Whatever works for you, we'd love to have you join us. So . . . who's next????
