At the end of the tournament we will be making a donation in the name of Tom E. Nichols to the Kevin Piper Jr Memorial Fund again. This is a family working to have a hyperbaric chamber placed in the hospital in Key West, in the name of their son who they lost to a diving accident seven years ago. In lieu of a registration fee, please consider donating-we will have a jar at each awards ceremony, or feel free to send your donation to the Nichols family anytime. Last year we raised a total of $1500.00 (and $1000.00 in 2016). We would love to be able to top that this year. In addition, we will be developing a scholarship fund in the name of Tome E. Nichols, and presenting it to a student next spring.
