HOW IS YOUR DONATION USED
Every dollar that is donated to Operation Blue Pride goes directly to
the support of our Veterans. OBP's staff is comprised of volunteers.
Some examples of how your donations are used include:
SPONSOR A VETERAN’S OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION -- $1,000
OBP organizes individualized programs for Veterans to obtain their open water certification. In each program, the Veteran is given new scuba gear (mask, fins, booties and snorkel), classroom and pool scuba certification materials and sessions. Then the Veteran is taken on open water certification dives and other recreational team building dives.
OBP ADVANCED CERTIFICATIONS -- $500-$1000
OBP organizes advanced certifications. OBP veterans have achieved Advanced Open Water, Nitrox, Deep Diver, Rescue and other
advanced certifications.
SPONSOR A DAY OF DIVING FOR 10 VETERANS -- $1,000
Once scuba certified, OBP veterans have the opportunity to participate in OBP
organized boat dive trips with other veterans in the Cape Ann area of Massachusetts. This includes boat charter fees, equipment rental and dive guides for two tank dives. On these trips, OBP veterans share in the exploration of the ocean in a team environment.
EQUIPMENT CO-OP -- $1,500 - $2,000
