Dana West Youth Sailing is a 501(c)3 non-profit which provides summer camps and after school/weekend programs
to promote and teach the sport of sailing and nautical skills. Our program strives to provide a safe, fun, and educational
environment for Orange County youth interested in sailing, racing, and boating. We emphasize the development of life

Our organization is run by volunteers and we annually raise funds to support our operations (coaches, boats /

from donations like yours go directly to these needs.
The Tin Cup Golf Tournament is our signature fundraising event! We are seeking sponsorships in any form –
monetary, products, gift certificates, experiences, gift baskets and/or golf related items for our drawings
and auctions.
We are a 501c3 organization that depends on donations to keep our sailboats, coach boats and gear all operational. Make a one-time or recurring donation through our Tides of Support program.
