Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating

Located in Annapolis, Md., the mission of Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) is to bring the thrill, freedom, and therapeutic value of boating to people with disabilities, recovering warriors, and youth from at-risk communities. The TowerCares grant supports the Recovering Warrior/Family Sailing Clinic, which brings together recovering military and their family members to learn how to sail. Sailing instruction is provided by a professional USCG Masters licensed skipper covering sailing basics to racing strategy and tactics. The TowerCares grant will be used to help fund the cost of sailing, instruction materials, housing, transportation, and more.
