Help build a World-Class Sailing Center

Join our campaign to build a world-class sailing center in the Columbia River Gorge. Our goal is to raise $1 million in contributions from public, private, and corporate donors so that we can create a facility capable of hosting first-rate international regattas and accommodating the growth of sailing activities in the Gorge.
