The 2nd Annual Dive-Around-the-Clock fundraising charity for Children's Hospital Cancer Research will take place on Friday, July 25 thro Saturday, July 26th, beginning at 4:00 pm (until 4:00 pm Saturday) at Redondo in Des Moines, WA. Last year we had 52 divers registered and raised $11,000; this year we are hoping for 100 divers and $20,000. There are many ways to help out; a) diving, b) collecting donations, c) helping out with the various stations and setup/cleanup during the event, or even all three!
There will be prizes awarded (various categories, details will be announced soon) and fun to be had for all. Early registration is $25.00, which includes the commemorative T-shirt. More details will be available on the website (divearoundtheclock.com) as they become available.
“Dive Around the Clock” is a 24-hour dive-a-thon relay, where 2-man buddy teams (1-min. to 5 max.) will be rotated every 30 minutes to ensure that there are divers in the water continuously for a 24 hour period. Each participant, diver or nondiver, collects pledges from family and/or friends. All money collected through pledges, sponsorship and registration fees (minus cost of t-shirts) goes to Children’s Hospital Cancer Research. The event website, ww.divearoundtheclock.com, has been updated and is now up and running. The website has further information,event details and registration and
pledge/sponsor forms that can be down loaded. In the near future, a link will be provided on the website providing online pledging, which we are very excited about. Each participant can customize their own page (add pictures, set fundraising goals, insert a thermometer to track financial goal, give reasons why the participant is doing the event,etc.) and send it out to friends, co-workers and family to collect pledges.
Feel free to email me at ValcanERRN@aol.com for further questions, or to request a pledge/sponsor sheet and registration form.
