For the second consecutive year the Boathouse Foundation, a philanthropic unit of the Boathouse Club of Edgartown, presented a check for $25,000 to the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard. Presenting the check on behalf of the Club’s members, employees and owners, were Scott Anderson (general manager) and Sydney Mullen (club manager).

The Boathouse Foundation also donated $15,000 to the Martha’s Vineyard Boys’ and Girls’ Club, which, among other activities, operates the Vineyard’s most affordable and heavily attended summer day camp. This donation will help the club keep camp tuition low and provide additional reduced rates for Island children in need.

The Boathouse Club established the Boathouse Foundation, Inc, with the goal of providing financial grants to nonprofits on Martha’s Vineyard. The Foundation is funded by the generosity of the Club’s members and owners via an annual contribution.
