Fundraiser for Lulu's Chamber of Health
WE DID IT!!!
With the awesome giving spirit of the Perth diving community and the fantastic support and generosity of our suppliers, our fund raising events on Saturday the 23rd of April raised over $25,000!!!
That is enough to cover the remaining money required to give Lulu her chamber and a new start on her road to recovery.
What started out as an impossible dream for Lulu and Craig some 8 months ago, when they started their fundraising drive to raise $120,000 to purchase a Decompression Chamber, has been achieved in record time and has made it possible for Lulu to start her treatments so much earlier than we could ever have hoped for!
Our on board raffles raised almost $9,000 and the Dive Day and River Cruise raised over $16,000 including the "Name our new Shark Cave Dive Site" Auction which raised a massive $1500 - name to be announced soon. There were more donations throughout the day, as well as money raised through bar sales on the river cruise and the cruise itself.
The events were great fun and everyone had a fantastic time!
None of this could have been possible without YOUR support!
We will be posting photos from the day and night events shortly to share with you the fun times that we had whilst raising these final remaining funds.
It is times like these that you know that as a diver, and part of the diving community - there is a massive group of people who are always willing to help out in times of need.
On behalf of Lulu, Craig and all of the Blue Destiny, Perth Scuba & Dive Locker Crews, THANK YOU!!!!
