My friends, my friends! I almost can't even believe I am FINALLY typing this post. I've typed it in my head hundreds if not 1000s of times (and I'm sure it will turn out like none of them, haha!)
***ahem*** ***tap, tap, tap*** **shrieking mic feedback**
After YEARS in the making, at last....Sailing for Good, Inc. is now OFFICIALLY recognized as a full-fledged, 501(c)(3) charitable organization by the United States of America! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

---- SUPPORT ----
Of course, at the core of all nonprofits: public support.
***in my best infomercial voice*** "Put that checkbook away; there's more!"
But no, seriously, while donations of all sizes will be fundamental, there are MANY ways you can support (even financially) that won't cost you a penny!

---- SOMETHING NEW TODAY ----
I spent the last few days connecting all the dots to enable Sailing for Good to be available in Facebook's "Giving Network."
As of today, you can now choose "Sailing for Good" from the list of organizations available for Birthday Fundraisers!
Now, if you already have a mission and a cause that you support, don't go bailing on them--they need your help too! However, if you are indifferent, on the fence, or just looking for a new cause to support, I invite you to consider choosing Sailing for Good as your cause for your next Facebook Birthday Fundraiser!
Here's a great place to start (use search term "sailing for good"):

And of course, the main website is: https://www.sailingforgood.org
Love, hugs and fair winds to you all !!!!
