Holy donation Batman!!!!! Look what happened.

Dr. Jeff Sipsey was the longtime head hyperbaric doctor for our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. Based out of County USC (as all the chamber hyperbaric docs are), he first got involved in 1976 and spent close to 40 years watching out for us, and was Medical Director for much of that time. Ironically, he was NOT a diver himself and didn't quite understand what the allure was for us. But he was always looking out for us and treating us when needed.

Although Jeff retired not too long ago, life can be cruel, and he died not too long after he stopped working. But his memory lives on and tonight we're delighted to announce that Jeff's sister Cindy, along with a donor who chooses to remain anonymous, have teamed up to honor Jeff's memory with a very generous Platinum donation of $5,100. Wow.

It also allows us to wonder if $60,000 is now within our reach. We've still got 25 hours until we announce our final total so who knows? Wanna help get us there? Go to the website www.chamberday.org and make your donation. Like our Chamber, we’re open 24/7.
