Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Although we published our overall event report, we also wanted to make sure that we acknowledged all the contributors to the Chamber Challange, including the good folks you see below, who donated within a day or two of the event.
We especially want to single out Horizon Dive Charters who, even though they couldn't make the run up from San Diego for the event (rough seas) sent us a check for $750, Scuba Haus with a $500 donation (always good to see the shops kick in when they can), and John Delaney III, also with a $500 donation.
Overall, 78 people or organizations donated and we sincerely appreciate every single one. (And if you'd still like to make a donation, you can always simply make it directly to the Chamber. You don't need to wait for next year's Challenge.)
