Dear Fellow Sailors,
The 2010 edition of Sail For Hope is on October 2,and is sure be another epic sail around Conanicut Island. So many of you played a big part in the original Sail For Pride in 2001, where we had over 180 boats of all shapes and sizes participate with ensigns proudly flying. Sail For Pride raised $110,000 for the Widows and Children’s Charities that were created to support the families of those lost in the attack on our country on September 11, 2001. After that first unbelievable year, we retired the name Sail For Pride and for the most part started concentrating on RI based Charities. Sail For Hope has since raised over $300,000 for RI and humanitarian based charities from 2002-2009.
Since 2001, Sail For Hope has donated funds to a number of charities including:
The American Red Cross Fund for Hurricane Katrina Relief
The RI Community Food Bank
The Seamen's Church Institute
The RI Firefighter Widow and Children’s Fund
The Newport Harbor Master’s Emergency Equipment Fund
Public High School Sailing Teams
The United Way
American Red Cross RI Family Services Fund
The Jamie Boeckel Fund for Safety at Sea
US Olympic and Paralympic Trials for Sailing
The NY Firefighters Widows and Children's Fund
among others…..
Sail Newport is proud to have led this effort to raise funds and we look forward to raising funds in 2010 for our community.
