SSCA General Fund Needs Your Help and Your Generosity

The SSCA is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization with three thousand members and relies on its membership to fund its operations and benefits.

We are working on making SSCA an even stronger organization for the future. Will you please help us?

Please consider a contribution to the SSCA General Fund.  Help the Association provide benefits and services to not only its membership but to the cruising community as a whole.  It's easy and you can use the Donate button below or the one to the right.  Volunteerism is the hallmark of this organization and it is great because its members keep the traditions of sharing cruising information, fostering camaraderie and leaving a clean wake alive through volunteering time, knowledge, expertise and finances. With your support, SSCA will continue to offer exceptional programs and services to the blue water cruising community.
