Benefitting Soldiers Undertaking Disabled SCUBA, a program that gives permanently disabled service members the opportunity to try a challenging and rewarding activity that can help facilitate the rehabilitation process and be an activity that they can enjoy for years to come, the tax-deductible tickets are $150 per person (SUDS is a 501(c)3 organization and a chapter of Disabled Sports USA) and the price of admission includes unlimited food and drinks to go with the boat rides and entertainment.

Organizers behind the fundraiser are looking for local boaters who would like to take the people who so generously donate to the cause out for a boat ride.
