For 24 years, the annual "Opening of the Bay" has served as a ceremonial kick off to summer, as well as the fundraiser to generate the support necessary to run DBMS Outreach programs. This year, DBMS is making a big push to serve the communities that missed out last summer due to COVID-19. The programs that serve these effected communities include ACCESSAIL, Veterans Days on the Bay and Maritime Adventures.
