The course to LA28 will be sailed by athletes. It must be powered by community. Unlike many nations, American sailing athletes receive no government funding for their Olympic campaigns. Success depends on private philanthropy, community support and people willing to invest in excellence before the world is watching. Together, we can help provide the resources that allow these athletes to compete at the highest level.
