Each year we continue to make life-long memories for hundreds of children and families from several different groups in the community. In 2008 will take 1000 non-profit guests on nearly 100 therapeutic, confidence-building and skills development sailing cruises.
“In the midst of extremely challenging times for our families … your actions lift spirits and allow families to cherish every moment that they have.” –Cancer Care Alliance
“For our teenagers in chemical dependency treatment, being on the boat offers an alternative to drugs, which is a very important step for these kids.” –- Ryther Child Center
Brightening Lives
With Sailing Trips
on the Healing Sea
Sailing Heritage Society began over 27 years ago when Captain George Todd started offering free trips around Lake Union aboard the 65’ schooner Mallory Todd to patients from nearby Fred Hutchinson Cancer.
In 1995, Sailing Heritage Society was formally registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and has since expanded to include victims of domestic abuse, at-risk youth and disabled young people from over 30 diverse community organizations throughout the Puget Sound area.
Thousands of cancer patients, caretakers and families have sailed with us as a respite from the pain, stress and emotional burdens of physical illness.
Sailing Heritage Society programs also welcome people with a wide range of emotional, mental or physical challenges on sailing trips which emphasize individual development, leadership and confidence-building while providing a rejuvenating, positive, unforgettable and possibly life-changing experience.
