Spreading Holiday Cheer Through Sailing, Community & Giving
Every year, the American Yacht Club Foundation Inc brings together sailors, families, and supporters to celebrate the season while making a difference. Our foundation’s signature event, the Holiday Charity Drive, invites members and the wider community to gather at the club, share in festive activities, and donate toys and resources for children in need.
Together, we turn our passion for sailing into goodwill that uplifts families and strengthens community spirit.
👉 Next Event: December 12–13, 2025
🎁 Goal: Collect 750+ toys for families in need
Our Mission
The American Yacht Club Foundation Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering community, advancing sailing education, and giving back through charitable programs. What began as a local initiative to support youth sailing and waterfront activities has grown into a trusted foundation that benefits families and communities year after year.
Why We Do It
We believe that passion, community, and compassion go hand in hand. By combining sailing traditions with charitable giving, we strengthen connections, create opportunities for young sailors, and directly support families in need. Through partnerships and community-driven efforts, we turn our love for the water into lasting impact.
