Thank you to the in-kind donors who have made our 2023 Online Auction and Rendezvous on the Docks possible! We couldn’t do this without you!

SUPPORTERS

We are so grateful for the ongoing support of the following area businesses and funders, which help CWB pursue our mission to make experiences on the water accessible to everyone.

 
 

Looking back at our 2023 Rendezvous on the Docks:

Last year, CWB engaged thousands of people with sailing and woodworking instruction, boat rentals, the Public Peapod Program, and free access to maritime exhibits.

Your generosity helps us steward northwest maritime heritage through hands-on learning on the water and in our boat shops and enables CWB to provide scholarships to our youth programs for families in need - ensuring access to boating opportunities for people from all walks of life.
