We’re closing in on $60,000!!!

We start with a trio of Silver level $500 donations and the first one, although the diver is a regular donor, prefers to remain anonymous. Which is fine with us. Although we love recognizing our donors, we’re also quite happy to respect your privacy.

The other two are longtime supporters of our Chamber and the first is Jim Krasne. Although Jim no longer dives in SoCal, he certainly understands that his contribution benefits the diving community as a whole and he’s more than happy to join us again this year in that spirit. The other donor at this level is Reef Seekers Dive Co., the store that for close to 30 years as served as Chamber Day HQ and with whom I personally might have a teeny tiny little affiliation.

We are exactly two weeks out from Chamber Day 2020 and while we’re not in bad shape, it would be nice if we were further along. The all-time record for the Challenge is $74,550 (2012) and when we tally up those who contributed last year who have yet to contribute this year, we may have a shot at beating that. And that would be immensely helpful this year but the Challenge makes up a large percentage of our overall total and, especially because we know this is going to be a tough year with everything going on, a record-breaking Challenge would be quite helpful to our overall goals.

We can’t do it without you. So . . . Who’s next? Who’s going to push us over $60K and maybe closer to a new Challenge record? The direct link to sign-up and donate is: https://dornsife.usc.edu/chamberday/signup-link/
