We are sorry to announce the cancellation of our 2020 Gala and Fundraiser originally scheduled for April 18, 2020.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with us in 2021! We’re more committed than ever to the values, principles, and community that got us this far. Hull Raiser 2021 will be bigger and better as we celebrate the school’s 40th anniversary in sharing hands-on education.
Save-the-date for April 17, 2021!
Many people have asked how they can help. Knowing that the financial markets are also in a state of uncertainty, we’ve been humbled that this week several people have donated what they had intended to give during the gala, as well as roll their event ticket purchase into a donation. The gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year, generating over $130,000 of donations that directly support hands-on programs. If you’d like to join our virtual fund-a-need paddle raise, click here to participate or click the button below.

Want something a little more personal? Here’s a quick face-to-face video update from the school’s Executive Director Betsy Davis.
Thank you for supporting 39 years of hands-on education.
We welcome and encourage neighbors, community members, businesses, and Boat School supporters in getting involved in this signature event for 2021! Contact Christina Ruben, Communications & Development Manager at christina@nwswb.edu to learn how you can help.
Thank you to our sponsors for their steadfast support
