First Place: A seven-day trip for one to Crystal Blue Resort in Anilao, Philippines

More About Dive into the Pink:
Dive into the Pink, Inc. was started in 2015 by Allison Vitsky, a breast cancer survivor, veteran scuba diver and underwater photographer who wanted to raise money to fight cancer in an unconventional way—by going scuba diving with friends.
Its charters let divers get together for a fun, pink-accented day on the ocean, knowing that 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward survivor support and breast cancer research.
Funds are split between the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) and the Guise Laboratory at Indiana University. The YSC is an international organization dedicated to the critical issues of young women with breast cancer. Specifically, Dive into the Pink supports and promotes the YSC's incredible patient support network. The Guise Laboratory is part of the Department of Endocrinology at Indiana University; funds are earmarked for a project examining whether characteristics of the bone marrow microenvironment can alter or promote the spread of breast and other cancers to the bones.
Dive into the Pink is a salary-free, low-administrative cost 501(c)(3) organization.
