Our success is made possible thanks to our generous donors!
What do your dollars support?
All of your donations go directly to our programming. With our commitment to no barriers for anyone who wants to go boating, that includes financial barriers. Our efforts with adaptive sailing and working with high schools in STEAM education brings so many people to the lakefront that may not have had the chance. As we look to expand our programming in our new facility to boat building projects and so much more, we will be able to reach a broader group and introduce them to different areas of boating.
What we do affects people in different ways. Here's what one of our staff members has to say about what we do:
" I grew up boating and always loved it. Never did I think I would work for an organization involved in boating though (despite growing up on lakes, never learned to operate a boat). Iām so glad that changed. What I found after being here a few months was the passion everyone had for what we could accomplish. That passion grew in me as well. I remember going out for my first adaptive outing and feeling the excitement for the individual getting to sail again for the first time. It gave me goosebumps. With the pure joy that I was feeling, just imagine what the person actually sailing was feeling.
WOW! What an impact we make in their lives!"

"SEAS provides a wonderful and fantastic opportunity for all people, but especially for ALS patients like myself. In dealing with a disease where the only sure thing is constant loss of function it's imperative to grasp onto positive touchstones along the way. My experience at SEAS has provided me once again with a chance to leave my wheelchair at the dock.
I'm still grinning a week later!"
