AYC Foundation Fête and Auction Supports Important Work in the Community
The Annapolis Yacht Club's philanthropic arm, AYC Foundation, will host a free event—a moderated sailing panel discussion for ages 9 to 29—followed by the foundation’s biennial fete and auction Friday, March 14, at AYC's main clubhouse.
Set against the backdrop of the moonlit AYC docks, the event will celebrate some inspiring sailors across the region, feature live music, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and craft cocktails, and provide a chance to win top-tier auction items.
The two events to be held in the Skipjack at the Main Clubhouse:
- A free event for sailors ages 9-29, 4 to 5 p.m., featuring refreshments and snacks and the opportunity to interact with some inspiring sailors during a moderated panel.
- The main event, $250 ticket, 6 to 9 p.m. will feature cocktails, heavy hors d'oeuvres, a moderated discussion led by talented sailors who will engage in a lively discussion with guest panelists, and a chance to win a 420, Opti, Laser, Ravens tickets, artwork, jewelry, boat detailing, and much more!
Tickets and sponsorships are tax-deductible and will directly support the Foundation's important community work. Mark your calendars for March 14 and see the direct impact AYC Foundation is having in your community.

The Foundation’s mission is to provide scholarships to underserved youths to participate in junior sailing instruction, grants to maritime-related 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organizations, and grants to amateur sailors competing at the highest levels. All funds raised through this event drive this important work in the Annapolis community.
