Stage Scuba

Fundraising ideas for Scuba Team?

Hello and thank you for answering my question in advance. A few of my co-workers and I are just in the starting stages of getting a Water Rescue Team going, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. We have the local businesses for asking for donations, and a few ideas for fundraising (Scuba Day at the pool, raffles, etc). I know there are creative people out there, and I wanted to tap into other ideas. Cute ways to incorperate Scuba in fundraising. Or even places to go for grants and/or known place (like Walamrt) that donate. Please let me know. You will be helping alot of people with your ideas.

I would continue with what you are doing but also team up with a local dive shop that may also want to participate and share the exposure. Maybe have a treasure dive/picnic at a local dive site. If the scuba shop participates they can often get support from their manufacturers (dive rite, scuba pro, mares...) who can send T-shirts hats or even gear as prizes for the underwater treasure hunt. In addition the dive shop may have a mailing list or e-mail list of all their customers. Maybe also have a raffle so you can raise money and give out prizes.

Historically, the only tourists venturing down the Pacific Coast were those going to see Manuel Antonio National Park, (the most visited park in Costa Rica), and the surfing crowd going to Dominical and the "Southern-Zone" where "the mountains meet the sea". The changes below reflect why the location of Hacienda Matapalo (www.haciendamatapalo.com) has helped make this the best selling property in Costa Rica.  

  Changes are coming ... this out-of-the-way place is not so out-of-the-way anymore!

1)      A New International Airport (Costa Rica's third) is being built and is scheduled to be open for International flights by 2010. (Just 45 minutes from Hacienda Matapalo)

2)      A New 80,000 square foot Hospital has recently been completed. (Only 20 minutes from Hacienda Matapalo)

3)      The Costanera Highway (Pacific Coast Highway) is in the final stages of being improved; which include rising, widening and paving the 26 mile stretch connecting Quepos and Dominical.  (Including the town of Matapalo)

4)      The largest, and only, full service marina in Central America is being built in Quepos and is almost complete.  (Located approximately 16 miles from Hacienda Matapalo)

Hacienda Matapalo (www.haciendamatapalo.com) has Setena Approval-the most rigorous stage of the permitting process, and is offering an opportunity for savvy investors and those seeking a retirement/second home. The latest development in the permitting process has been the approval for the elaborate entrance being planned for the community.

Many individuals have been attracted to Costa Rica for a means to diversify their retirement portfolios.  Costa Rica real estate serves as a great hedge against the cyclical changes in the stock and bond markets, the US economy, and the falling US dollar.

A little known option for investing in real estate is using your Individual Retirement Account.  All types of retirement accounts can be converted, tax-free, to a Self-Directed IRA and subsequently invested in all types of real estate.  The Developer of Hacienda Matapalo is extremely well versed in the use of Self-Directed IRA's for real estate purchases.  Having this knowledge has allowed the Developer to work with Buyers on an individual case-by-case basis, customizing contracts based upon that particular individual needs and working capital.  In fact as nearly 30% of the purchases at Hacienda Matapalo were made with Self-Directed IRA's

Hacienda Matapalo

Completely surrounded by lush forest, cascading waterfalls and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean is Costa Rica's extraordinary gated community of Hacienda Matapalo. With 665 private acres, Hacienda Matapalo offers a world of natural beauty. 

Hacienda Matapalo is located just 800 meters (2,624.67 ft) off the beach and reaches back three kilometers into the primary forested mountains to an altitude of nearly 2,000 feet above sea level.  With its 125 acre dedicated nature preserve, nature is and always will be an integral part of this unique community. Set amongst countless species of birds, butterflies, and wildlife, Hacienda Matapalo offers 1.25+ Acre Homesites, Single-Family Homes, Townhomes, Villas and Condominiums all equipped with state-of-the-art connectivity including Satellite, Internet, Telephone, and 24-Hour Security.

Three of the area's most beautiful beaches are within minutes of Hacienda Matapalo — Playa Linda, Playa Matapalo and Playa Ventanas. Whether it's walking the sand for that perfect seashell, horseback riding on the beach, or just soaking up the sun while palms sway in the ocean breeze.

Enjoy our Private Beach Club where owners and guests can spend the day and then rinse off in a cool shower before heading back home. If adventure is what you seek, you will soon see why the area is often called "Nature's Playground." Follow a whim... Surfing, white-water rafting, sport fishing, mountain biking, scuba diving, rappelling and treetop zip lining are just some of the daily activities available in the area. Or, if you prefer something a little tamer... try cloud forest walks, world-renowned bird watching, butterfly garden tours and even whale encounters. At Hacienda Matapalo you may seek out your own experiences. Maybe you will choose to meet your neighbors at the magnificent Community Center wrapped by infinity-edge pools, spas and ultra relaxing swim-up bars and lounge area.
