Virtual Deep Down Challenge  - #DivePiratesWanderlust  
Just because we pirates have been grounded from flying to our pirate lair for a week of pirate fun in the sun, doesn’t mean we can’t continue some of our trip traditions! Starting Today , June 16 th  (which would be the day we would dedicate one dive to the deep down challenge) we are kicking off our own

1 Create a personal Facebook Fundraiser 
  • Use this link  or go to your personal page and find fundraisers in the left side navigational bars.
  •  Build your own fundraiser selecting Dive Pirates.
  •   End date would be July 16, 2020.  
  • Title for your fundraiser can be anything you think will be eye-catching, or just have it all match and call it Dive Pirates Wanderlust.  
  • Here is some sample text to use in your description: 
 
You may not know that I support a band of pirates who face isolation and difficulty navigating this world every day, not to mention during this time. Help me help them celebrate life after injury!
 
 The Dive Pirates Foundation supports people with mobile disabilities; people in wheelchairs, with amputations, etc. some injured serving our country and communities. 
 
 Dive Pirates shares with them the freedom of adaptive scuba diving and being part of a group of friends and family to travel and explore together. 
 
 Right now they should be enjoying a trip together celebrating acceptance, comraderie, and more... instead they are sheltering in place, working on their e-learning and trying to fundraise during a time no one can gather and fundraise!   Please donate to this virtual dive event: #DivePiratesWanderlust 
2 Share the virtual dive event from the Dive Pirates Foundation Facebook page. 
We created our own fundraiser on our official page, but this won’t work if you don’t like it and share it with as many people as possible!  Anyone who comments with their own picture and shares it will be entered as officially participating for the 10% discount.
