On January 10th, Diveheart board members Dawn Engler and Ron Rispoli show off their newly painted fingernails as part of the incentive for Amy to go and stay at the bottom of the Oak Lawn High School swimming pool for twenty minutes. Amy won the bet and ended up painting almost all the volunteers fingernails and toenails during the Diveheart discover scuba event. The nail painting was turned into a fundraiser that also benefited Diveheart.
