The above picture of me is from a recent Clearwater sail; see how happy I look?

I joined the Clearwater Board of Directors because I believe in the organization’s mission and want to help foster it. I grew up boating all over the waters of the tri-state area and starting volunteering on-board the Sloop a few years ago. Sailing on Clearwater is a magical experience for me and the “Queerwater” LGBTQ+A Youth Empowerment Program is particularly close to my heart because of the wonderful participants and staff involved. 

I was nominated to the board by a petition of Clearwater members, including Sloop crew, after expressing interest about being more heavily involved with the organization during this year’s Queerwater program. Through my strong personal sense of civic engagement and desire to better society, I broadly understand the value of advocacy and activism that the Clearwater organization embodies.

It means a lot to me that you are here to offer your support for a cause that I care deeply about. I’ve committed to raising as much money as I can and I really need your help to fulfill this promise. Thank you so much for donating whatever you can, I will not forget it.

I pledge to match all donations personally; if you donate $50 or more, I will send you a custom, handmade Clearwater pin and print to thank you for your support!
