2019 End of Season Party!

It’s time to celebrate Junior Sail 2019!

Join us Saturday, November 30th,
at the Waukegan Yacht Club
3pm to 5pm.

We’ll be celebrating another great sailing season and announcing award winners!

This will be a good time to tell stories, catch up with sailing friends from the summer…possibly start thinking about your plans for next summer
(you also might want to look through the lost and found to make sure you took everything home…we’re just saying)

It’s a party, it’s a chance for all of us to say “Thank You” to you for being a part of our season. There will be light appetizers and a cash bar.

Junior Sail BBQ+Fireworks Dinner Fundraiser

Bring the family for dinner in the best seat in Waukegan Harbor before the Independence Day FIREWORKS! 

The Junior Sailors are holding a fundraising dinner on July 4 in the dining room of the Waukegan Yacht Club. It’s an all-American BBQ buffet to benefit the WYC Youth Foundation. All proceeds go directly to the purchase of equipment, replacement parts, and fleet repairs for our Junior Sailing program. It’s for the kids!

This event is “rain or shine” should Mother Nature choose to surprise us with a rain shower and should the fireworks be postponed, we will take pleasure in being indoors.

Please share our event site with family and friends quickly, because only people with advanced tickets will be able to enjoy this delicious dinner and watch fireworks in the comfort of the Waukegan Yacht Club with its members!

The WYC Youth Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is dedicated to teaching safe boating skills, sailing & seamanship, and respect for our environment to children of our surrounding communities. We rely on fundraising and charitable contributions to maintain and augment our equipment and facilities because we believe sailing is a life skill that should be affordable to families in our community.

Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.
