Dear Sailing Science Supporter,

We want to thank all our readers who have followed the SSC over the past year. Without your support we couldn't continue. Please consider joining your friends by donating to the SSC today and taking advantage of the $300 tax deduction implemented by Congress in the 2020 C.A.R.E.S. Act (see below for details).
SSC 2020 In Review
As we look back on 2020, many are happy to see it behind us. The coronavirus, social unrest and a tumultuous election are all things from 2020 we may just as soon forget. While we have not yet left the storm, it looks like there is a clearing in the clouds and the sun is breaking through for a brighter 2021.

Through the past year, the SSC has stayed the course and continued to make progress. Here are a few of the year's highlights.
In 2020, the SSC:

  • Created two new exhibits and prototyped four others
  • Launched an initiative for a 2021 high school design competition
  • Published 12 monthly newsletters
  • Hosted 12 volunteer events
  • Hired our first employee
  • Added a new business development lead to our board
  • Migrated our contact database to Salesforce
  • Rolled out a new logo and brand plan
Thank you for being part of our community and helping build a better future. The contribution you make today will help the SSC continue its programs in 2021

2020 C.A.R.E.S Act
Donate Today for a $300 Tax Deduction
In March of 2020, Congress voted with overwhelming bipartisan support to enact the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (C.A.R.E.S). Within the act is a provision allowing cash donations of up to $300 to be deducted if made before December 31, 2020. This applies whether or not the taxpayer itemizes deductions.

If you haven't already donated to the SSC, consider doing so now to take advantage of this one-time incentive.
Wishing everyone a great close to 2020, and a healthy, fulfilling year in 2021!
