  • Sail NS to Help Sailors Raise Funds at Awards Night

    Sail NS to Help Sailors Raise Funds at Awards Night

    Hey competitive sailors,

    Sail Nova Scotia is excited to be hosting our 4th annual Evening of Excellence & Fundraising on
    Friday, November 15th at The Atlantica Hotel in Halifax.

    This year we have decided to offer competitive sailors and teams the opportunity to raise funds at the event.

    Sail NS will provide you with the platform, the venue, the audience, and the opportunity to
    deliver a project, activity, experience, or game to the attendees that evening as a way to raise
    funds for your campaign. There will be 6 spots available. You will be provided with a table at
    the entrance of the ball room for the entirety of the evening. Set up starts at 5pm with guests
    arriving at 6pm and wrapping up at 9:30pm.

    We’re looking for innovative, engaging and fun ideas. Something that most attendees will enjoy
    and take part in. There will be close to 200 in attendance from the sailing, boating, and
    corporate communities. Whatever you raise the evening you take home with you.

    We ask that you share what you are raising funds for at the event so it is clear to all the
    attendees what they will be contributing towards, ie a specific regatta,, multiple events, a flight, a
    new sail, coaching etc…

    We also ask that you share with Sail NS how much money you raised at the event for our
    records and acknowledge Sail NS on social media.

    Please complete this application form if you want to be considered. https://forms.gle/P47rhDxW9GJ1xACN6

    If you have any questions please reach out to Frank [email protected] or myself
    [email protected].

    We are excited to provide this opportunity and look forward to receiving your submission. So
    start brainstorming as the deadline to submit is Friday, October 11.
