Dive for the Cure is upon us!!
This event is dedicated to promoting the sport of scuba while raising monies for Breast Cancer in the local area. This years monies at the Tacoma event will go to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.
We are pleased with the amount of support we have gotten from the dive industry and hope to grow this event in future years.
The event is held the weekend of Oct. 5 -7, in Tacoma. ALL divers are invited and a special invitation goes out to your non-diving friends, as this may prove an inspiration to get your land lubbing buddies certified in the next year.
Friday, Oct. 5, the event will kick off with an auction/dinner event held at the Tacoma Elks ballroom on Union Ave off Hwy 16 in Tacoma. Auction items include regulators, BCD's, charter trips, classes, art, massages... Dinner is Baron of Beef or Chicken with a full array of foods to accompany. We are pleased to also have Blue Juice Band as our live entertainment following dinner. Tickets are $30 and available at Tacoma Scuba or Underwater Sports Federal Way. Tickets also available by contacting Dive for the Cure at the site below.
Saturday, we'll have an informal dive at Les Davis at 1:00 pm with our friends coming from as far as Eugene, OR and Northern B.C. Saturday night, the Tacoma Elks pool will be available for any instructors needing to use this for the Discover Scuba participants preparation.
Sunday, Oct. 7, we will be kicking off the Main Event at Owens Beach at 9 am. We'll start with a Discover Scuba dive, then a newly certified women in diving dive and culminate with a BIG SPLASH event, where participating divers will do giant strides from the boat ring...entering the water in a show for onlookers of how much fun diving is. We will have booths with vendors, dive centers and donors for the event. We have massage therapists who have volunteered to donate massage time to raise monies at the Main Event, so come down and get a massage and help the fundraising effort.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE...
If you're wanting to get involved, or have a non-diving friend that wants to get involved...contact us right away to find out how to volunteer or DIVE in the event.
Media coverage for the event will be featured in DiveZero magazine, XRay magazine, Northwest Dive News and TravelGirl magazine. And for those going to DEMA, we've been invited to speak at the XRay magazine booth at 10:00 and 2:00 on Nov. 2 & 3...to launch the 2008 event!
