New Sponsorship Opportunities Now Available!

As a commitment to our athletes coming out of club programs, Ontario Sailing has made the substantial commitment of hiring a Development Coach. Chris Hewson has been hired to work with targeted youth athletes in the development classes, as well as with targeted Canada Summer Games athletes, including the newly added 2.4mR Paralympic Class, at the 2013 CSG.

 

Chris is also reaching out to some of the other non-Olympic classes including the Snipe, Hobie 16, Lightning, Contender and boards to develop a closer working relationship with our clubs, athletes and classes as we move towards hosting the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto . We have also set the goal of creating a Pan Am Games 2015 Development Team, who will be tasked with making sure all sailing athletes at the 2015 Pan Am Games are from Ontario.

 

In order to fund these initiatives and to push our athletes’ performance to the next level, Ontario Sailing announced, at the 2011 Golf Classic, our commitment to reach a fundraising goal of $400,000 over the next 4 years. More specifically, this will go towards the permanent hiring and supporting of a Development Coach in Ontario , as well as to bolster the principal in our Hans Fogh Endowment Fund.  You can help reach this goal by pledging $100/year for the next four years or making a one time donation of $400.
