Chamber Day
Contributor
Thanks to you . . . We made it past $45,000!!!
We're led this go-round by a wonderful $1,500 contribution from Cirque du Soleil. As you may know, they use a lot of scuba safety divers in their production of "O" in Las Vegas and one of their corporate policies is to support the institutions that their divers support. And since Robert Soncini works at Cirque and volunteers at the Chamber, they kick in and we appreciate it.
We've also got a Silver-level $500 donation from Norman Deatherage, who's been supporting our Chamber for as far back as we can remember. (Plus, he ordered a t-shirt too.)
$50,000 is certainly NOT out of reach. But we can't make it there if you sit back and watch and wait for others to donate. If you're a diver and you're reading this (and even if you're not a diver), we need YOU to chip in whatever you can afford NOW. We can't do it alone and you can see below the roster of concerned divers and friends who are challenging you to match their commitment to our Chamber as well.
So who’s next??? Who's going to push us towards $50K?????
