e have all seen the unbelievable images that have been plastered in print, on TV, and across the world wide web of the total devastation that Hurricane Katrina delivered in just a few short hours. The total loss at this moment still remains to be seen. The seemingly insurmountable task of resurrecting the lives of those impacted, as well as rebuilding the cities those folks live in, will undoubtedly take a very long time and will come at a great cost to all of us.

n an effort to assist in any way we can, Captain Quint will be donating 15% of all on-line merchandise sales from our Great White Wear store to Operation Blessing, designating that these donations go directly to hurricane relief in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. All merchandise - including CD’s, t-shirts, posters, beverage wetsuits and hats - are included in this  program.

rders received between September 1st and October 31st, 2005 will be included in the program and we'll make sure to keep everyone updated on the project's success. So please dig deep - into your pockets and into your hearts - and consider placing an order at Great White Wear. Also, be sure to visit the Operation Blessing website to see for yourself the phenomenal work that they do. Hurricane Katrina may have staked her claim along the Gulf Coast leaving in her wake only death, destruction and despair, but together we can make sure that “all hope isn’t lost” for those impacted by this tragedy.

Thank you for your support!
