Sail Locally, Celebrate Globally

The Sail-a-thon is an international event celebrating the Summer Solstice with participants sailing in more than 10 regions across the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The events will include a cookout along with door prizes and the awards for fundraising.

Advance registration is required. Forms will be available on the website. There is no fee for general registration and all participants will receive a commemorative button. However, participants who register or raise pledges will receive incentives described below:

          $0.00 Crewmember - Commemorative Button
