This year will mark the 16th year for this fundraiser and, to date, we have raised over $450,000 to battle cancer! Our goal for this year is $75,000. We need your help!
There are several ways that you can participate in “Dive for a Cure”. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Certified instructors will be on site to teach you, so beginners to experts alike are welcome!
The 24-hour Marathon
One event is the 24-hour marathon where a maximum of 6 participants raise a minimum donation of $1,000.00 each from sponsors. They commit to staying in LDC Adventure Outfitter’s indoor, heated pool for 24-hours.
The Underwater Relay
Another event is the underwater relay. This works like the walk-a-thons where contributions are solicited based on the number of hours your team commits to spend underwater. You can create your own team and schedule people to be in the water on scuba around the clock, relay-style, for the 24-hour period; a minimum donation for each team is $5000.00.
Individual Participation
The most popular way to participate is to choose a time frame to be in the pool on or off scuba. Each participant is expected to raise a minimum donation of $25.00 per person per hour.
Volunteer your time
We need all the helping hands we can get to make this event a success. We will need volunteers for set up, check-in, breakdown, during the event to help facilitate the activities and much more!
