Dear Friends,
I am writing to ask you to donate to our end of year giving campaign. Your donation can make a big difference to the work that the Downtown Sailing Center provides for our members and the individuals that we serve.
In 2011, we will be busy providing access to the freedom of sailing to everyone in the greater Baltimore area, especially those with disabilities or limited income. To succeed we need your help.
The continued success of our Sailing Instructor Trainee (S.I.T.) program, the Access-Ability free accessible sailing program, and our outreach programs targeting at-risk youth and people with limited income depend on generous donations from individuals like you.
Baltimore's Downtown Sailing Center is a volunteer-driven organization that instills confidence, teamwork and a sense of community through a range of educational and recreational sailing programs.
At the Downtown Sailing Center we provide access to sailing through our free public sailing programs, our free accessible sailing programs as well as our certified education programs for adult and youth sailors. In 2010, we served more than 1500 individuals. Our programs make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
Your donation of $10, $25 or $50 can help the Downtown Sailing Center give the gift of sailing to even more more people next year.
For our members, we will continue to offer the most cost effective way to enjoy the sport of sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. We will be working hard this winter to expand and improve the quality of our membership driven programs including Wednesday Night Open Sails, our cruising programs and Thursday Night Racing.
I hope you will consider donating to support The Downtown Sailing Center today.
When you participate in our end of year giving campaign you enable us to offer the highest quality programs and services to everyone in the greater Baltimore area. Please, click over to our new website to make your donation TODAY!
Happy Holidays and thank you -
Kristen Berry
Executive Director
