Fundraising for Junior Sailing

Photography for Ida Lewis Junior Sailing by local photographer Cate Brown

I embarked on a new partnership this summer with Ida Lewis and its Junior Sailing program out of Newport. They were interested in utilizing photography as a fundraising element, and we found a formula that brings funds directly back into the program.

While my first visit to Ida was full of clouds and rain, it didn't stop these kids from having a blast! For the second session of the summer, it was nothing but sun and blue skies.

I was very happy with the wealth of support from the kids, instructors and parents at Ida Lewis, and for a first go-around, it was a wonderfully successful partnership! I hope to offer the same fundraising options to other programs across the bay for 2017.
