Causes: Sports, Swimming & Other Water Recreation

Mission: To promote sailing and to make Lake Michigan accessible to everyone in the Milwaukee area through quality programs.

Results: In 2010 we opened a new educational building (with no debt) that allowed us to expanded our program offerings. We now offer year-round programming that keeps our members engaged throughout the winter off-season, STEM classes in area schools and many community based programs that bring people to Milwaukee's beautiful lake.

Target demographics: Anyone in the greater Milwaukee area who wants to learn to sail.

Direct beneficiaries per year: over 200 adults to learn to sail, 350 to improve their skills, over 230 children took lessons and almost 600 disabled adults got to sail.

Geographic areas served: Greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Programs: Prams in the Park (ages 8-11), Youth Sailing (ages 9-17), Adult Sailing, Adpative Sail Program (for emotionally and physically disabled of all ages ). Our members actively help maintain the fleet, volunteering over 2,500 hours every year.
