Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, a charity for young cancer survivors spearheaded by Dame Ellen MacArthur, recently awarded the Volunteer of the Year honour to a tenacious mate. Michael Green, a 62-year-old native of Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, received the accolade at the Trust’s annual volunteer training conference held on 21st March. The Trust compliments Green’s passion for dedicating his ‘whole heart’ to the cause, proving that commendation and applause are not his driving forces. Green, a marine industry professional, has been making monumental strides in the lives of young people since he began his philanthropic journey with the charity back in 2017.
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.
