The ASA is proud to support the efforts of Hands Across the Sea, and helping Tom and Harriet Linskey in their effort to bring literacy to the Eastern Caribbean. It is a worthy cause; keep up the great work!
In its fourth running, the annual Caribbean Getaway Sweepstakes raised a record high of $27,000 for Hands Across the Sea, a Massachusetts-based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charity dedicated to raising the literacy levels of Caribbean kids in pre-school, primary school, and high school. ASA sailors alone raised 23% more money than last year — an awesome job! Even if you missed the sweepstakes you can still donate.
