CSSD PAU GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN

GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN

CSSD currently has Power Assist Units which are falling apart.  Repairs and purchase of new PAUs are costly.

One of our fantastic CSSD Volunteers, Bill Gross, has put up a Go Fund Me page.  The GFM is targeted to raise money for a new Power Assist Unit.  For those of you unfamiliar with a PAU, it is a unit attached to the sails and steering of a sailboat, allowing a sailor without the capability to steer and trim to control  the sails on their own.  This PAU system is a valuable asset for those people without upper body, arm or hand use, giving them the freedom we all enjoy when sailing on our beautiful bay.

If you wish to contribute, please go to https://gofund.me/7fa35864.

Be sure to share with family, friends or anyone or business you know.
