On Oct. 19, Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, spearheaded a fundraiser supporting hurricane relief efforts by taking her first-ever tandem skydive.
Event participants raised $85,000, which was given to the Gary Sinise Foundation. The dive took place over Tampa Bay, Florida, with the help of the nonprofit Round Canopy Parachute Team.
“Jumping from a plane was a rush, but the real thrill is supporting a meaningful cause in one of our important homeport communities,” Duffy said. “I’m proud we can deliver this significant donation to the Gary Sinise Foundation, a great organization supporting the work of military and first responders assisting in hurricane relief efforts.”
