Join UVSC to Help Control Invasive Species of Fish in Hawaiʻi & Raise Life-Saving Funds to Help Families Fighting Cancer

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED! See you tomorrow!

The 3rd annual Trucker Dukes Memorial Dive Tournament & Invasive Roundup is a unique and inspiring event for keiki and adults that supports a great cause while also nurturing love for the sport of spearfishing and our oceans! All funds raised from this Silent Auction and the Dive Tournament will go directly to UVSC’s mission of supporting families fighting cancer with their cancer-related medical costs and essential needs.

This invasive species roundup and tournament is a chance for us to practice caring for our precious marine resources by doing our part in the campaign to control invasive fish on our reefs by eradicating harmful invasive species (roi, ta’ape, to’au). The overall goal is to remove as many roi, ta’ape, and to’au possible from Hawaiian waters (in the designated dive boundary area) in the time allotted.

** NEW ADULT DIVISION ADDED - limited entry to 8 adult teams total!

About UVSC: UVSC’s mission is to provide hope by raising funds for individuals fighting cancer, as well as support cutting-edge research for a cure. UVSC stands for “Us Versus Cancer” and is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded by cancer survivor, Jamil Newirth, and Chris Thibaut, who lost his father to cancer in 1997. Inspired by the community who took it upon themselves to organize events and support Jamil after he was diagnosed with brain cancer, UVSC was created with a vision of bringing communities together to support each other in times of greatest need and against all odds – and most importantly, to provide hope so no one has to fight cancer alone.
