We’re proud to introduce the Jim Quillen Memorial Scuba Scholarship & Fundraiser.
High Plains Scuba has partnered with Braddock American Grit Foundation matching funds up to $5,000.
Jim Quillen was someone who believed in people, in community, and in sharing the experience of the underwater world with others. His impact continues to be felt, and this scholarship is one way we can carry that forward.
This scholarship will give someone the opportunity to become a certified diver—opening the door to a world they may never have otherwise experienced.
To support this, we’re hosting a fundraiser and auction for a scuba certification experience.
Every bid and every share helps make that opportunity possible for someone.
The Braddock American Grit Foundation is a Fort Collins based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating education.
Whether you’re a diver or someone who simply believes in giving others new opportunities, we invite you to be part of this.
Let’s honor Jim by continuing to do what he cared about most—bringing people into the water.
