Looking to Do Something Positive?

Let the Foundation Help You Make a Meaningful Impact

What about including a charitable gift from your estate to the SDYC Sailing Foundation? It's something that makes a difference now by encouraging others to do the same, and provides funding for programs in the future.

Estate gifts are especially important to the Foundation, not only because they tend to be larger than annual gifts, but because they often fund needed programs and help to establish beneficial services not otherwise possible.

An estate gift encourages imitation. There's something about a well-planned estate gift that influences others to "go and do likewise." As friends and family members plan their own estates, they may recall your generosity and thoughtfulness. Your gift may be the motivation to unlock resources from others.

The Corinthian Club was established to provide recognition for those donors who have made a planned gift through their will. If you have included a bequest in your will already or would like to do so, please contact Sailing Foundation President Jerelyn Biehl to be included on this list.
