Much of the money raised by VISAR throughout the year comes from events which the dedicated fund raising committee organize. Events take place throughout the year on both Tortola and Virgin Gorda. If you are in the BVI, we very much hope to see you at our events. |

Many people who have been assisted by VISAR's volunteers take the time to write a letter and to send a donation to mark their gratitude for the services which we provide. Our volunteers meet each Monday evening, and all letters of thanks are read out to the crew during the meeting - the thought is very much appreciated.
