Greetings!

Just in time for Veterans Day, Team Paradise was honored with a sizeable check during a short, but very memorable few moments during the Florida Panthers hockey game at the BB&T Center on Thursday night. The Florida Panthers Community Champions grant is dedicated to our VA Sailing Program, and our core group of Veterans showed up for the celebration. Danny, Duane, Donoray, Rene, as well as Susan, Sheila, Paralympian Brad Johnson and yours truly were all present for the big moment. Fans wearing our team shirts were in the crowd cheering us on. Our suite was fully loaded with food and refreshment. We mingled in with Panthers alumni players and other cool people that came by to greet us. The high point was when our video was shown on the giant video scoreboard, high above center ice. It was an unforgettable moment that will last a long, long time. We are forever grateful for being able to carry our mission forward!

Many thanks for participating in our inaugural Team Paradise Open House & Silent Auction Fundraiser last Sunday! Your support, encouragement and friendship means everything to us. This type of event was the first of its kind for us and I'm not sure if the US Sailing Center has ever been decorated like this before. It's the perfect venue for a party! It was a nice and cool evening and we had all doors open on the second floor. The silent auction took place in the class room and the buffet and bar was located in the breezeway. The Salty Crackers performed in the breezeway on the ground floor and the music filtered up to the second floor at a very comfortable level. For those of you who missed it, don't worry! We plan to make this an annual event!

Stay tuned for our next update coming soon. In the meantime, wishing you all the best! 

Yours Truly,

Executive Director
