Your Night on the Charles. Their First Day on the Water.
Thank you for celebrating the Fourth of July at Community Boating.
Sailabration welcomed more than 800 guests to our boathouse for an unforgettable evening on the Charles River. For many, it was a first visit to Community Boating and a first look at the nonprofit mission behind this special place.
For 80 summers, Community Boating has helped children and adults of all abilities and financial means learn to sail, build confidence, and experience Boston from the water.
Your gift can help open that experience to someone else.
Help Keep Sailing Within Reach
Throughout the season, Community Boating provides:
- Affordable youth sailing and STEM education
- Adult instruction for new and experienced sailors
- Adaptive and therapeutic sailing for people with disabilities
- Financial assistance for individuals and families
- Boats, life jackets, safety equipment, and supervised time on the water
Ticket revenue helped make Sailabration possible. Charitable gifts help sustain the programs, equipment, instructors, and welcoming community that fill our docks throughout the rest of the summer.
