Cal Sailing 2025 Crowdfunding
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 to raise $15,000. As we strive to maintain a consistent competitive edge, our goal is to continue building our sailing program. We are fundraising for regatta entrance fees, travel costs, maintaining 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. All estimates are rough only, and actual expenditures may vary.
Please consider making a gift today and supporting 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!
If you're interested in supporting the long-term future of Cal Sailing, we also welcome contributions to the Cal Sailing Endowment Fund. This fund helps ensure that future generations of Golden Bears can keep sailing, competing, and representing UC Berkeley for years to come. To learn more about giving to the endowment, please contact Dereck Phan directly at dereckphan@berkeley.edu.
