Description: Our Goal: $25,000 to Empower Future Young Sailors This year, we aim to raise $25,000, which will help us cover: - Youth Gear and Equipment: Providing proper float coats, personal flotation devices (PFDs), and sailing pants to ensure safety and comfort on the water. - Emergency Preparedness Supplies: Stocking our boats with critical items like AEDs, first aid kits, and flares to ensure every sail is equipped for any situation. - CPR/AED Certification: Training for our volunteers to maintain a safe and supportive environment. - Boat Maintenance and Fuel: Keeping our vessels ready for the next adventure. - Lunches for Sailors: Providing meals during outings to keep young sailors energized. - Graduation Festivities: Celebrating participants’ growth, skills, and accomplishments. Entirely volunteer-run, Blue Water Foundation relies on the generosity of donors like you. Your contribution not only keeps our boats afloat but also provides thousands of children each year with new horizons, teamwork, and joy. Together, we can empower the next generation of leaders and adventurers. Visit (https://www.bluewaterfoundation.org/donate) to make your gift today. Every contribution fuels our mission and brings lasting impact. Thank you for being a part of this journey—your support is invaluable! 🌊

People fall overboard at night, you know...this is a skill all should have.
