South Florida Divers, Inc. (SFDI), a local South Florida dive club, will be hosting a fundraiser to benefit SUDS, Soldiers Undertaking Disabled SCUBA, at the Miami International Boat Show. The SUDS program is designed to help improve the lives of severely injured veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. By training the warriors in a challenging and rewarding activity such as SCUBA, it can help facilitate the rehabilitation process and promote mobility unlike any other sport. SUDS is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
Throughout the entire show, SFDI will be at Booth #1926 in the Dive and Travel Harbor displaying items available for a silent auction and raffle. All items have been generously donated to SFDI for this event. Examples of items include; SCUBA gear, live-aboard vacation packages, Fishing charters, marine artwork, SCUBA training, and many more.
The Boat Show is from February 16-20 and SFDI will have a special event the evening of Saturday the 18th at the Miami Convention Center, 6pm, room B118. Saturday after the show, SFDI will be hosting a reception with videos about SUDS, speakers, live entertainment, food and drinks. This is an open event that anyone may attend, a minimum donation is recommended. Many of the silent auctions and raffles will come to a close that evening and winners will be announced. Attendees of the reception will be eligible for many door prizes.
Last year, nearly $13,000 was raised during this event.
