Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! Let’s talk about some green . . .

Specifically it’s a wonderful $5,000 Platinum from Andrew Pilmanis. If that name sounds familiar to you, it might be because Andy was the very first Director of the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. (Ron Ryan followed Andy, and Karl Huggins followed Ron.) So if anyone understands how important public funding for our Chamber is, it would be someone like Andy who’s known the issue first-hand.

But whether you have $5,000 or $5, everything helps (although admittedly, the $5,000 helps a lot more). The point is that it’s been a very difficult year for everyone and we just hope that you will be willing to help fund our Chamber and contribute to the Challenge at whatever level is right for you.

And the way you do all of that is by going right to our donation page and start entering the requested info. The way it’s set up this year is a bit cumbersome as you’ll have to go through every page and then go to the payment page but we hope you’ll have the dedication to do that the same way the staff and volunteers f our Chamber are dedicated to be at the ready for you, in case something goes wrong with your dive.
