Support Local High School and Youth Sailing on the West River!
Join us on July 25th in support of our Junior Program and West River Sailing Foundation as we fundraise to complete the purchase of an 18 Boat C420 Fleet and to create an endowment for Junior Sailors to continue sailing regardless of financial status.
​
With a generous $40,000 MATCHING FUND in honor of Jean Wagner, former long-time Junior Program Director, we can purchase this new fleet and create this endowment.
​
This fleet comes with everything needed for a decade-plus of use and has been professionally maintained by their home club since purchased new. This fleet will allow WRSC to expand our High School program (much needed as we have reached capacity in the past years), support regional college and high school sailing as one of a few venues capable of national-qualifiers, and will provide our summer program with boats capable of both training and competitive racing. The endowment will continue supporting sailors in local programs such as WRSC. Financial support for these youth sailors is critical, as 20% of our High School sailors receive financial support.
​​
EVERY AMOUNT HELPS. HERE'S HOW
We appreciate every little bit that people donate to our kids. Donations support the growth, improvement, and maintenance of our fleets so that we can continue to get more young people on the water while keeping the costs for the kids and their families as low as possible.
