Description

Our mission is to “foster curiosity, camaraderie, and diversity through underwater education and exploration.” Our personal goals are to offer free or low-cost scuba experiences (including certification) for low-income individuals, Black, Indigenous, Latino/a/e/x, Asian, Pacific Islander, LGBTQIA+, adaptive, veterans, or any other historically underserved community or organization that would benefit from scuba diving.

We are quickly approaching our third anniversary and are hosting a big fundraising event to help support our mission goals; the Ca(SEA)no Night: A Fundraiser for CUES. Over the last two years, the money raised supported the training and diving of 18 scholarship recipients! Funds from this year's event will support our 2023 scholarship fund.

 

We expect 100-120 attendees, all 21+, at our 4hr event. We will have a silent auction and raffle, as well as fun games such as split the pot, a wheel of prizes, and plinko. Jazz musicians, food, and donated beer and wine will complete the experience. This event is one of the highlights of our community each year!
