Brendan Sailing is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $20,000 grant from The Kathy and Jerry Wood Foundation. This grant will support camper scholarships for youth for this summer and beyond who would otherwise not have these opportunities.
The cost to provide specially tailored, educational and growth opportunities to LD students continues to rise. For many families, these financial demands can be overwhelming, even before the cost of a summer activity for their child is considered. Brendan Sailing is committed to making a difference and will never turn a child away based on their ability to pay. Scholarship applications are available on our website.
