Our Crowdfunding Groups
The California Golden Bears Sailing Team is a student-run, competitive racing team from the University of California at Berkeley. The team regularly competes in regattas throughout the San Francisco Bay and on the waters of Southern California and Hawaii.
The Cal Sailing Team was started in 1922 and is the second oldest club sport at Cal. Our fleet of twelve FJs is located at Richmond Yacht Club where we practice three days a week. Only twenty minutes from campus by car, our new home provides some of the best sailing on the west coast as well as beautiful views of the San Francisco skyline.
Our goal this year is $6,000. As we aspire to maintain a consistent competitive edge and make nationals, our goal is to continue to build our sailing program. We are fundraising for regatta entrance fees, travel costs, maintain our fleet, and funding our new home at RYC, as well as various other costs crucial to keeping our team sailing each year. Whether we surpass or do not meet our goal, every donation contributes to our success and overall financial stability.
Sample of costs Cal Sailing faces every year:
- Travel Costs: $3000/yr
- Conference Fees: $1000/yr
- Powerboat Maintenance and Gas: $1000/yr
- Fleet and Storage Container Maintenance: $1000/yr
Please consider making a gift today and support us in our fundraising efforts. We greatly appreciate your generosity and thank you for helping us become the best team we can be! Go bears!
