Manchester Sailing Association Commences Its Annual Fundraising Appeal

Posted

With winter and the holidays upon us, Manchester Sailing Association (MSA) is already focused on the summer and the countdown to getting back on the water. To secure the future of this valued community sailing program, please consider donating to the annual fund campaign.

Fees are set to cover the annual operating expenses of MSA; all other costs associated with the program come from contributions. Donations from the fundraising efforts allow MSA to invest in capital purchases to improve the safety and performance of its fleet and infrastructure.

Established in 1971, MSA has for nearly 50 years continued to provide residents of Manchester and the broader North Shore community access to the water in a fun, safe and educational community-based program. MSA offers a structured curriculum with a variety of courses to build sailing and boat handling skills while promoting seamanship and on-water safety. The program is designed to encourage a lifelong love of sailing for both serious competitors and recreational sailors of all skill levels from age seven to adult.

The 2019 season was a big success and it’s a joy to see students learn sailing skills, develop friendships, and gain confidence and resilience on the water. Please consider donating to support this treasured summertime program.

MSA is a 501 (C) (3) organization; contributions are fully tax-deductible and qualify for corporate gift-matching programs. Donations of any level are appreciated.
