Plant High School Sailing to NIT
Tax deductible
H.B Plant Sailing is a varsity high school club sailing program out of Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida. The club is one of very few public school sailing teams in our region. This year, we are honored to have secured a berth in the National Invitational Tournament-The Founder's Cup Regatta in Rochester, New York, on Memorial Day weekend. The NIT Regatta started in 2009 as a way to promote team racing among school teams. Last year, Plant was the winner of the Founder's Cup and we are thrilled to be defending our title!
Our entire Club Team roster of nearly 20 sailors has pitched in both on the water and off the water to make our team as successful as possible. We practice anywhere from 2-5 days a week, attended school, are active in scouts and music programs, have volunteered in the Tampa Bay community, held fundraisers and more, but still as a Club Team one of the biggest obstacles we face is funding. The sailing team receives no funding from our high school and our parents cover the costs of coaching and regatta travel. Expenses will run nearly $1,000 a person, and we need to pay for seven sailors and two adults, totaling $9,000. Donations will be used to help offset the costs for our sailors. We need the funds by May 20th in order to book flights and hotels.
Thanks for your donations, they will help fund our dream to compete on a national level! We appreciate you joining our support crew!!
