Junior Sailing Challenge nets $9,952 at FBYC on Saturday

Just a quick recap of the events this weekend!  We had good weather on Saturday and a great turnout for both the Kayak and Jr. Challenge.
 
Kayak:
We had 20 people for the tour which is a great turnout! With registration and fundraising money the event brought in a total of $2,536! The water was very calm and great for kayaking and the group even saw a bald eagle!
 
Jr. Challenge:
We had 5 teams: Christchurch School, Norfolk Collegiate, Poquoson H.S., Smithfield H.S., and St. Christopher's.  Christchurch was the winner of the Top Fundraising Award and Norfolk Collegiate won the sailing.  In all this event brought in $4,952.00 in Fundraising, plus the $5,000 sponsorship from Bank of America bringing the total to $9,952.00!
 
The wind was light, so the sailing was a little slow, but everyone had fun.  The kids were a pleasure to be around and very interested in why we do this event!
 
Total for the weekend: $12,488!
 
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped at both events: Carolyn Norton Schmalenberger, Judy Buis, Bob Kates, Arlene Kates, Jean & Forrest Bailey, Ann Gray, Mike Karn, Sarah Serra, Jill Shore, Diane Wooten, and Cathy Chisholm. I appreciate all of your help so much!
