[WYC Announce] 🎄This Christmas, Give The Gift Of Sailing At The WYC! 📯

[WYC Commodore via wyc_info]

 Dear Friends of WYC,

The holiday season is upon us!

And what a year it has been. We provided sailing to 235 club members this
Fall Quarter and have also introduced 438 newcomers to the UW to Union Bay
during our Dawg Daze Open House. We found out the Dock Renovations project
has been delayed 1–3 years, and are eager for more seasons of sailing on
the Bay, Lake Washington, and the Sound. For our fairweathered sailors, the
warm season may be over, but at the WYC we’ve pulled out the wetsuits and
foulies and are anticipating an exciting Winter season.

This Christmas, the Washington Yacht Club leadership is on a mission to
bring the joy of sailing to low-income students at Udub! Our plan for
need-based club dues exemption will only be possible with your support, and
your generosity will make a real difference in lowering students’ barrier
of entry to the sailing scene. Here’s how your monetary contribution can
help our Club:

   -

   $30 can provide the resources for a free dingy lesson for one passionate
   student.
   -

   $60 opens the door to a whole academic quarter’s worth of participation.
   -

   $100 can support the yearlong maintenance of one boat, ensuring every
   student gets a safe ride. (Let us know if you want to choose which boat
   to adopt!)
   -

   You may also contribute any dollar amount to our New Boat Fund,
   Instructors Gratitude Fund, Social Events Fund etc. to take care of the
   clubs’ many goals for 2025!


No contribution is too small, and every gift helps us get closer to our
goal of lowering club fees for 20 students.

You can make your tax-deductible donation by:

   1.

   Visiting our Square Store: https://washington-yacht-club.square.site/
   2.

   Sending a check to:

Washington Yacht Club

Box 352238, SAO 235

Seattle, WA 98195-2238

This Christmas, let us come together to introduce more students to the
world of sailing. Your support means the world to us and is positively
impactful to the students whose lives you’ll touch.

It also takes a lot more than just money to run the WYC and we are always
looking for more people to help out. If you are at all interested in
teaching a class/clinic, running a regatta, helping with
repair/maintenance, or raising money for the club, please either fill out this
form

send an email to contact at washingtonyachtclub.org, or just stop by the docks
and say hi.

Thank you for considering our cause and for being a part of this special
season of giving. We wish you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed
Christmas!

Warm wishes,
