Today we praise the beach: Beach Cities Scuba that it is.

Once again this year, they have really stepped up to the plate and made another $10,000 Diamond-level donation which gives the Challenge a great boost. Their generosity and understanding of what it takes to keep our Chamber available helps insure, as does your donation, that we can be there when needed. On top of that, DJ Mansfield and the Beach Cities men & women will be filling a couple of tables at Chamber Eve as well as at a virtual table. And DJ is on our Steering Committee as well as helps procure some of the raffles prizes. We appreciate the collective dedication and commitment to our Chamber.

We’re a little more than a week away. There’s still work to be done and a ways to go. You can help. We’d love to add your name to our list of enlightened divers willing to support our Chamber. Here’s the direct link to make your donation: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_88ko1OUej3lAYbI
