The Shark Tank Showdown

Shark Tank Showdown – An April Fools’ Fundraiser Like No Other!

Rise Life Services and The People’s Arc dare you to be part of the Shark Tank Showdown, a heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud fundraiser happening at the Long Island Aquarium on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

It may be April Fools’ Day, but we’re not joking—someone is getting in that tank!

And the best part? YOU get to decide who takes the plunge!

Our fearless (or maybe just unlucky) participants—staff, family, and friends—are all competing to raise the most funds. But only the top and lowest fundraiser will earn the “honor” of stepping into the shark cage and facing some real-life underwater predators!

Want to see someone from RISE swim with the sharks? Donate to their name! Want to spare them? Get others to donate even more to their competition! It’s all in good fun and all for an incredible cause—supporting Rise Life Services’ essential programs for individuals in need.

The more you give, the closer your chosen “diver” gets to the tank!

Who will sink, and who will stay safely on land? Donate now and make your choice!

Tickets for the event reception grant access to the aquarium, exclusive viewing of the Shark Tank Showdown dives, cocktails, a delicious dinner, music, and more!

Admission is $99.00 per ticket and available for purchase ONLINE. Tickets are LIMITED—get yours NOW! Click “Buy Tickets in the navigation bar to reserve your spot!
