Plain and simple: What an amazing year. We always get some donations post-event (and leave the Challenge open for a week or so because of that) and here are the last donors along with everyone else.

This go-round, we have not one but two Gold-level donations to start us off. The first is from longtime supporters Tom Turney & Jill Boivin, members of the Catalina Conservation Divers, who absolutely understand the value of our Chamber and their support of it. And the second donation comes from stalwart Francesco Cameli. We appreciate them both.

We also have a Silver-level contribution from Layne Ballard in memory of his late wife, Julie.

Overall this year, we had 167 contributions to the Chamber Challenge, ranging in size from $25 to $13,500. And when we say we really appreciate each and every donation regardless of size, we really mean that.

So thank you all for an amazing, incredible, wonderful Challenge this year. Obviously, the challenge for 2023 will be: Can we set yet another record?????
