JSCA 35th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign

For 35 years, The Jericho Sailing Centre Association has operated as a not-for-profit society dedicated to low cost ocean access recreation. As the largest community-based aquatic association of its kind in Canada, we’re proud of what we’ve been able to offer our members and the public.  During 2008, JSCA’s achievements were remarkable:

Great!  What about next year?  Despite these impressive accomplishments, and the increasing demand for memberships and services, JSCA currently faces more challenges than ever.  As the Association doesn’t receive taxpayer or government funding, it depends solely on its members and other users of the Jericho Sailing Centre to fund the annual operating budget as well as essential upgrades, enhancements and improvements for the benefit of all members, guests and other participants. 

What can be done?   As we develop alternative fundraising initiatives to ensure the smooth operation of the Jericho Sailing Centre now and in the foreseeable future,  we’re pleased to introduce JSCA’s first Annual Giving Campaign.    

What’s the goal of Annual Giving?  The Annual Giving Fund represents the ongoing contributions by members and friends of the Jericho Sailing Centre who wish to provide much needed continuing support for the Centre.  The goal of this year’s Annual Giving Fund is to raise $40,000.  Monies raised will be applied towards JSCA’s Building and Compound Enhancement, Jericho Safety & Rescue, and additional facilities for the Disabled Sailing Association.   If you’re passionate about the Jericho Sailing Centre, have benefited from all it has to offer individuals, families and children, and want to see the legacy of this spectacular facility and location continue to thrive, Annual Giving is a great way to give back to the Centre.  JSCA needs your support.  Your gift, whatever the size, will make a difference.

Can I direct my gift?  You certainly can!  You may choose to contribute an unrestricted gift to the General Fund that can be used in the area of greatest need as directed by the JSCA Board.  You can also choose to direct your donation to an area of JSCA you feel most passionate about.  JSCA also welcomes planned giving and living legacy giving (please contact the office for more information).

How can I make a contribution?  Include your donation with your annual JSCA fees or download the Donation Form from our website and fax it to 604-224-4168, or mail or drop it off in person at JSCA, 1300 Discovery St., Vancouver, BC  V6R 4L9 (Tel 604-224-4177).

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Please consider supporting JSCA through this year’s Annual Giving Campaign.
Thank you.
