Hello PYSF Parents, Sailors and Community Members--

I hope you all enjoyed a restful and laughter filled Thanksgiving. As we head into the weekend I want to thank everyone that has given so generously to PYSF's Annual Fund. We really can't do it without your support. Below you will see why our Annual Fund is so important to the program as well as the RSVP details for our Holiday Party.  I look forward to celebrating another successful season with you all in just a few weeks!

GO PY!! --Molly

We are now over half way to our 2025-2026 Annual Fund Goal of $150,000 and almost half way to our 2025 goal of 100% participation from our fall families.

We have raised $76,095.53 and have reached the 45% participation milestone. Our high performance race team continues to lead the race at 69% participation with C420 Development not too far behind!

Our mission as a community sailing center is to make sailing accessible to everyone in our community. The Annual Fund makes that possible by closing the gap in our per-sailor cost. With your help in reaching our $150,000 goal, we can keep class fees stable and our programs open to all.  A high level of participation from our community shows strong support for our mission and directly impacts our ability to get funds from grants and other outside sources so truly, every dollar directly helps PYSF!

Every dollar matters. Every donor counts!  Let's GO PY!!!

Celebrate the Holidays with PYSF!

Join us as we ring in the holiday season with the PYSF community! Last year, we shared a wonderful evening filled with caroling, skits, and end-of-season awards. This year promises just as much fun—come enjoy dinner (we’ll provide the main course, and you can bring a dessert to share!), festive performances, and quality time with friends and family.

The Sequoia Yacht Club bar will be open for adults to toast the season.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for kids under 12.

Don’t forget to RSVP by December 10th HERE to secure your spot!

Giving Tuesday is a global day focused on generosity, created to inspire people to give back after the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Nonprofits receive matching gifts, increased visibility, and collective momentum on this day. Donating on Giving Tuesday amplifies your impact.

Please support PYSF this Giving Tuesday to help young sailors gain skills, mentorship, and opportunities that extend far beyond the water. PYSF makes sailing accessible to kids of all backgrounds by offering scholarships, safe equipment, and high-quality coaching. A gift today helps ensure every child who wants to learn has the chance to get out on the Bay and grow.
