Dear Great Lake Diver Store:

For all those divers who have been waiting anxiously to dive Chicago's Next Shipwreck, your wait is nearly over. We are very close to "Sinking the Bucc!"

What we need now are CASH DONATIONS to offset the towing costs. I am currently shopping prices but no matter how good a shopper I am, we will be spending thousands of dollars in the next few weeks to make this a reality.

Righ
t now I need you tocontact me to make a Donation. Your contributions will 100% pass through the Tim Early Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and be tax deductible. Tax letters will be available upon request.

Additional No
te: For larger donations of $250 or more, we will be offering those contributors a ride out to the sinking on the luxury dive boat OASIS and a champagne toast as the Buccaneer Sinks Beneath the Waves!
(Space is Limit

Everyone who dives the Straits of Mackinac LOVES it.  Almost everyone of those divers marvels on how we as a dive community worked together to make the Mack Chicago’s Best Dive Site.  That said, the team of players that I helped assemble has done a lot of hard work and  spent a  lot of their own money to make the sinking of the Buccaneer a possibility.  We are now at the 5-yard line and I/we need your help to score a touchdown.

Please contact me regarding your donations and offers to help.

Best regards,
Capt. Jim Gentile
