Boys & Girls Clubs' Spectacular Yacht Event Features Grammy Nominee & BOAT International Sponsorship
Charitable causes and the world of yachting may seem poles apart. However, BOAT International has brilliantly bridged the gap by announcing its media sponsorship for the 36th Annual Boys & Girls Clubs Yacht Rendezvous, a beneficial event in Fort Lauderdale. This annual convergence of generosity and glamour has been the epicentre of philanthropy in yachting for the better part of 37 years.
This year, the event is poised to sail into uncharted gusts of philanthropic success. With a lineup of yachts spanning 16.8 metres to a staggering 50 metres set to dock for the event, guests have much to anticipate. The Rendezvous will unfurl over two evenings of glamour and generosity, marked by a gala dinner and the traditional yacht hop.
It’s not every day a tale unfolds that combines wonder, bravery, and determination. This story revolves around the young and intrepid sailor, Jazz Turner, who is currently accomplishing the extraordinary feat of circumnavigating the British Isles single-handedly. Beyond the legacy of flaunting her navigation skills, Jazz’s voyage seeks to shed light on the unexplored freedom and joy of sailing for those with disabilities.
This incredibly daring challenge is undertaken by Jazz not for her personal glory, but to raise funds for Sailability, a charity she holds dear. Her goal? To equip the charity with more boats and encourage more people to experience the exhilaration of being one with the sea. And her endeavors are bearing fruit - her voyage has so far raised an inspiring £35,883, and she isn’t even finished yet!
