Today may be the most exciting two minutes in sports (the Kentucky Derby), three Game 7s in the BNA, and the initial Kings-Ducks playoff game, but for Chamber Day, we're excited because we hit $50,000 in the Challenge.

We are led to this milestone by our good friends at the Roddenberry Foundation who have put a $1000 check in the mail to us. And the guy who actually got us to exactly $50,000 is longtime supporter Jim Krasne who boosted his normal $500 pledge to $515 so we could send out this triumphant update.

We're now only 4 days away from the big day and every dollar donated to the Challenge really helps keep our Chamber strong. Where will we endow this year? Will your name be on our list? Go to www.chamberday.org and support our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber.
