Thank you Capt Sam for setting this up. I hope that SB'ers join in the support of this worth while cause!
 
Thanks for your help, Howard. With help from the members, we could make a very nice contribution to the SUDS program. Our goal for the silent auction is to raise over $100,000.00 in donated items to be auctioned off at the flea market. We are at $47,159.00 so far...We are also accumulating used gear for the flea market. We have plenty of room in our donated warehouse. In the last 2 weeks have put in over 5 large boxes of very nice used gear and 9 tanks.

BTW, we have unlimited room on the website for sponsors.
