Schooner Farewell

Wow that's a wrap for the 2025 The Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race Virtual Race Fundraiser.

We set a record!! The previous record was our inaugural race of 2020 & this year we collectively raised over $71,000, which brings our six year total for the event to over $300,000!

What a great race, thanks to all of the schooners& charities who participated, but the biggest thanks go to the people who donated to these organizations who support our community

Thank you!
