Get On Board!!!

Sponsor a Sailing Session: $20 each. Click Here.

This year's is the sixth edition of our sponsor-a-sailing-session campaign. This formula allows individual donors to participate in giving people with disabilities the opportunity to practice sailing.

These donations, big or small, are an important contributor to the success of our sailing program. Thanks to your support, this campaign has raised almost $24,000 in donations during the previous five years.

This year we still need your generosity to make up the difference between the actual cost of each sailing session and the minimum fee paid by the sailors and to help developing the Quebec chapter. Last summer, 165 participants were able to leave their wheelchairs, walkers, canes on the dock and experience sailing aboard a boat adapted to their needs.

Your online donation by credit card will be securely processed through Paypal. If you prefer to pay by check, you can mail it with our form (download here).

Donors of 20$ or more will be given tax receipts with registration number: 887688737 RR 0001.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

René Dallaire
