Dave DiLorenzo, Courageous Sailing There are more high school sailing teams around Boston than anywhere else in the country, but until now this hasn't included most of Boston Public's 40+ high schools (the exam school, Boston Latin, has been the one exception). Finally, this is going to change. Courageous Sailing and Boston Public have teamed up to launch Boston Public's own high school sailing team. It will be a composite team, allowing kids from any of Boston Public's high schools to participate, and will sail and compete within the Mass Bay League. If you live near Boston, please join us Thursday March 10 at the Boston Sail Loft for a special "Cocktails for Courageous" fundraiser to help get this team off the ground. All proceeds will go directly to supporting the BPS team, helping Courageous provide coaching, gear, and equipment. All contributions to the team are tax deductible. Zim Sailing (www.zimsailing.com) is sponsoring this event and helping Courageous stretch every gear-buying dollar as far as possible. Zim will be on hand at the event with lots of great gear. Pick something up for yourself, or to give to the team. Either way Zim will donate 20% of all purchases back to the team. All contributions directly to the team are tax deductible. (Gear purchased at the event for any college or high school sailor will also receive a 20% discount from Zim. Note the event is 21+ plus.) In addition to supporting a great cause, the event is also a great chance for Boston-area sailors to catch up with old friends, make new ones and help Courageous raise much-needed funds for a great cause! Tickets are just $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Of course, larger contributions in any amount are fine too!
