2020 Fundraising Program: Support Youth Sailing!!!
We successfully trained 148 students in our 2020 Summer Program and we continue throughout the winter however COVID-19 has impacted our income and fundraising. Several of our aging single-handed trainer boats need new sails or full replacement . Details are here. (link the “here” to below).
King Harbor Youth Foundation completed another very successful summer program.
•We taught 148 kids to sail with zero COVID-19 infections despite being limited to our Opti single-student boats.
•Our Opti race team has grown to have the most competitors ever.
During the summer and into the fall, we had extensive waiting lists of students who wanted to participate. To take advantage of the opportunity to broaden youth interest in sailing and reduce some of our financial challenges, we elected to continue the program into the fall and currently have full Opti classes ongoing.
While the summer and fall programs are very successful, thanks to our Sailing Director Roger O'Connor and his staff, we are challenged by 2 key issues:
• LA County guidelines have prevented us from running our 2-sailor FJ classes, our Martin-242 based adventure sailing, and our High School sailing team, putting us short on revenue.
• We were unable to run our two key in-person fundraisers.
Another major challenge is our single-person Opti equipment is aging. In 2011 we purchased 20 "Ploptis" (plastic training Optis) and ten race Optis. This equipment trained over 1000 sailors! It's now time to begin the replacement process. Today we need to replace:
•All 20 of the "Plopti" sails
•Ten complete "Ploptis"
•2 used (to save expenses) race Optis
The total price for this equipment is $31,000.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
•We seek donor support to (a) help us through our 2020 revenue challenges and (b) to procure the equipment listed above.
•In total we are looking to raise $58,000
•Any donation amount is valuable!
•A donation of $4000 or more will allow the donor(s) to name one of the new boats. This perk is also available to donors who team up; however, only one boat name is allowed per $4000 donation.
KHYF has been a critical contributor to the South Bay sailing community. We would very much appreciate any support you can provide in these challenging times.
Please make your check payable to King Harbor Youth Foundation and mail to King Harbor Yacht Club, 280 Yacht Club Way, Redondo Beach, CA 90277.

The King Harbor Youth Foundation is seeking to dramatically increase our impact on the youth of the surrounding South Bay communities through extending our programs to a broader audience of local youth and improving the quality of our instruction, coaching and equipment.
To accomplish this, we have identified two areas requiring investment: year-round instructional/coaching staff and equipment (new boats, sails and maintenance). The following donation programs are available to individuals and organizations interested in contributing to our cause:
General Fund Donations
Your donation will ensure that KHYF can sustain all of its program over the long-haul and distribute its funds where we have the greatest need. Become a sustain member with a weekly, monthly or annual donation to ensure your donation has the greatest impact.

By Check:
Please make checks out to "King Harbor Youth Foundation," rather than KHYF. Mail your donation to:
King Harbor Youth Foundation

Redondo Beach, CA 90277
King Harbor Yacht Club Member Billing Donations
While we don't receive formal financial backing from the King Harbor Yacht Club, many of its individual members have chosen to be generous contributors.
To facilitate this process, we have established a monthly billing donation through your yacht club membership dues, enabling you to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Youth Foundation each month.
To participate in this program, please contact the KHYC Office Manager, Laura Price, at (310)3762459 or [email protected].
Boat Endowment Program
Many of our sponsors are interested in making a lasting impact on our programs. To this end, we have created our Boat Endowment Program, where contributions will fund the purchase of a new boat and subsequent replacements of that boat as necessary in the years ahead.
Participants in this program select the name of their boat and will have the satisfaction of knowing that their boat will be assisting youth sailors for decades into the future. The costs of our endowment program vary by class of boat, and can be made by organizations, individuals or groups of individuals pooling their resources:
Major Donors - Marina Cove Ltd. and The Guthrie Family,
- The Sprague Foundation
- EdMcDowell
- MATSON Foundation
- The Bob Hood Scholarship Fund
- The West Marine Blue Future Grants
- The Fritz Dawson Family Match Donations
Long Term Vision
The King Harbor Youth Foundation has historically relied on individual donations, program fees and fundraising events to fund its programs. To increase both the quantity of children and families we serve and the quality of experiences we offer them, we will need to expand and diversify our funding sources.
To that end, we are seeking to expand our fundraising to also include private and community foundations, corporate grants, public agencies and other non-profit organizations. If you have suggestions for us or assistance to provide in any of these areas, please contact us at 424-327-7579.
