“Ebay on the Bay” event

Every year SMBSF collects discarded sailing and boating gear and sells it to the community at various swap meets held at DRYC, SMWYC and PMYC.   SMBSF is grateful to board member Ed Gold for his tireless work throughout the year collecting donated equipment and getting it ready to sell on EBAY and Craig’s List. To date, he helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.  This money goes to many different causes within the Santa Monica Bay including a youth at-risk program, junior competition fees, sailing equipment and scholastic coaching. Ed was helped by many people on the foundation with some special time put in by Howard Katzman, and so many other members of our SMBSF Board and sailing community.
