Get Kids in Boats

"Get Kids In Boats" is an initiative by Brighton and Seacliff Yacht Club to increase participation in sailing and aquatics. Our aim is to have as many people as possible of school age trying sailing and aquatics and we hope this will be the first step to becoming regularly involved in sailing or windsurfing or kayaking or other aquatics pursuits. Of course, we'd like that regular participation to take place at BSYC!

At the same time, our sharp increase in youth membership has put pressure on our resources, especially at the weekend and we aim to raise $100,000 over 3-4 years to increase our youth program and sailing and aquatics school capacity.

We have identified 4 means of raising funds:
1. Through commercial sponsorship packages
2. Through the Australian Sports Foundation allowing the Club to promote the tax deductibility of donations to ASF on behalf of our Get Kids In Boats project
3. Through Aussie's Lend-a-Hand initiative
4. Through various grant avenues.
