Put Sunday, August 24 in your calendars for the fourth-annual Sail for Hope event.

On a sunny Sunday in August, scores of people from across the province and beyond will enjoy a fine sail in the Thornbury Yacht Club's Sail for Hope.

Thornbury Yacht Club skippers volunteer their power and sail boats to take guests on an enjoyable and relaxing cruise through the scenic waters of Southern Georgian Bay. Both our guests and volunteers enjoy the sail and many new friendships are formed during the day's events.

The proceeds from Sail for Hope guest registration fees ($60) are donated to the Canadian Cancer Society - Town of the Blue Mountains Branch. Over the past three years, the event has raised nearly $24,000 for the Society.

Returning to the Thornbury Harbour around 4 p.m. guests, skippers and their crews will be treated to a casual dinner donated by local businesses.

Pick up registration forms at Gyles Sails and Marine, 4 King St. W. Thornbury, or contact Alan Chesworth (chesworth@sympatico.ca) 519-599-7865 or click the link provided, for more information.
