SailMaine Winter Warm Up Party

[Michael McAllister]

Greetings Yarmouth High School Sailing Families!

I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the SailMaine Winter Warm Party and Fundraiser on 

March 7th from 6:30 to 9pm at O'Maine Studios in Portland

You can get tickets are $75 and include food, drink, parking and live music and you can get them HERE

This is going to be a fun event, with great food, Beer from Rising Tide, wine, and silent and live auctions.  The proceeds go to support youth development through sailing at SailMaine and we will specifically be working to raise money to purchase a complete new set of 420 sails for the high school program.  

As parents, you know SailMaine's impact is more than just a place to learn to sail and race.  We hear from parents and participants that sailing increases confidence, builds leadership skills and is a space where kids make new and lasting friendships.  

The proceeds from this event help kids that can't afford the experience of sailing to get out on the water, make friends and build life long skills.  The proceeds also help reduce the cost for everyone by helping pay for capital improvements like new sails, new docks, and new boats. 

Most of all, this is a fun night where you can have a great time with other members of the SailMaine Community and support community sailing in Maine! 

Other fun facts about SailMaine:   

• All junior and high school programs at SailMaine are subsidized 40% by fundraising/public support
  
• SailMaine has never denied a scholarship in request in 20 plus years
  
• SailMaine provides free STEM programming for 325 Portland Public School Students
  
• SailMaine provides access to our waterfront for adults through Adaptive Sailing, Adult lessons and boat rentals

Over the last few years with your support, SailMaine has added 24 NEW 420's, New  J22 sails, a new dock system and new outreach programs.  Thank you for all you have done. 

I hope to see many of you there!   GET Tickets HERE

Kind regards,

Michael
