The Option of Planned Giving

One of the best and easiest ways for you to help us promote sailing is to remember the Foundation in your will. Even a modest bequest can have a lasting effect on our programs for many years to come. Just ask your attorney when drafting a will of codicil to include a provision to "I give IBYC Sailing Foundation, Ltd. the sum of ___." Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions concerning the option of planned giving.
