In support of the San Diego Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program, the Juniors administer a biennial Chair Back Fundraising Campaign. During the campaign, boat owners can purchase chair backs embroidered with the name of their boat. In the last campaign over $20,000 was raised for the Junior Sailing program.
The proceeds from the sale of the chair backs help to:
- Purchase new racing boats to upgrade and increase our fleets
- Purchase accessories such as video equipment, sails, and dollies
- Maintain chase/safety boats, engines and boat trailers
- Maintain the excellence of the San Diego Yacht Club's Junior Program
We are now beginning the 2009 Chair Back Campaign. There are only 128 chair backs to be embroidered, and our goal is to sell them early in the fall. They will be displayed on the front deck until 2011.
Members with existing chair backs will have priority for the first 30 days. After November 1, 2009, orders will be opened to the entire membership. The chair backs are available through the San Diego Yacht Club Sailing Foundation for $200 each. You may be entitled to certain tax benefits. Please use the benefit information below as a guideline.
Please order yours while they are still available. You may charge your donation to your SDYC member account.
Thanks in advance for your support!
