Give to the Innovation & Excellence Fund
Perhaps you’re a long-time Wooden Boat Festival fan or an R2AK Tracker Junkie (an actual title!). Maybe your greatest passion is to sail or teach young people real-life skills that were valuable in your own career. Or you might simply love to come to our campus, sit on the beach, and watch the world go by. All of these are terrific reasons to donate to the Innovation and Excellence Fund—and support one of the region’s most innovative and entrepreneurial nonprofits.
