Dear Friends,

We’re getting ready for an exciting season at the Chicago Yacht Club Foundation. We are expanding many of our core programs, and adding a number of new ones. For example, we are planning to run a record number of sailing camps and after school programs, as well as a significant expansion of our swimming education program. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. Coming up in May, in partnership with the Club’s Cruising Sail Fleet and Power Fleets, we are getting ready for our Bilge Auction to benefit our Sea Scouts. Read below for more information about this exciting event – donate your old unwanted boating gear and come prepared to take home some new treasures!

And special congratulations to our hometown heroes, Steph Roble and Maggie Shea, for qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Your CYC Foundation Competition Fund is a key supporter of Steph and Maggie, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to join them on their quest for gold this summer!

Watch for more exciting news about Foundation initiatives in June. We are just getting started. Let’s continue doing big things together in 2024!
