Boat Shows and Photos - Help Support Disabled Soldiers @ Miami International Boat Show

Hi Everyone!

South Florida Divers, Inc. is organizing our second event at the Miami International Boat Show to help raise funds for Soldiers Undertaking Disabled SCUBA (SUDS)! Last year we were able to raise nearly $13,000 for them, and this year our goal is $20,000.

The outpouring of generosity has been tremendous already. We have some great new trips donated, gear is coming in almost everyday, and the Boat Show has been incredible with their support.

Please come out and join us at the Boat Show, Feb. 16-20 in booth #1926 in the Dive & Travel Harbor at the Miami Convention Center. At the booth, we will have tons of prizes that have been donated for either raffle or silent auction.

Saturday, Feb 18, we will host a reception at the Convention Center starting at 6pm. Many of the auctions and raffles will close then and you can get your last minute bids in while munching on free snacks and beverages. We'll also have live entertainment, SUDS videos, and just plain fun.

You can follow updates about new prizes at our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/225582570847736/)event or our website www.sudsfundraising.com (http://sudsfundraising.com).

Attendance isn't necessary to win the prizes, but we'd love to see you there. If you want to purchase raffle tickets for something, send me a pm. We'll work something out for you.

If you are interested in donating items to us for the prizes, please pm me or send a message to [email protected]
