Only the people who have had their lives touched by the experience of being on the Harvey Gamage understand the value of the experience they had on board. We know what this vessel is offering to the high-school students on the coast of Maine. A week on board costs $1750 per student. Some can afford this expense, many can't thus we are asking a minimum of $250 from the student as a reasonable contribution. The remaining $1500 has to be raised through person to person fund raising. If we can raise $500 dollars from 500 people who care this program will be very very strong.
The plan is to demonstrate this opportunity this summer and work with the State Department of Education to formalize the program. The gift of the Harvey Gamage to future generations needs your financial support and your support to get deserving students on board. You all know it will change their lives! Direct the next generation to our website to sign up students and consider supporting a deserving student from your community by encouraging them and making a small donation.
FOLLOWING Irving Johnsons lead the experience for all that it is worth boils down to the fact that are going to have "fun and sail properly."
