Fort Lauderdale, FL – November 1, 2024 – The Lauderdale Yacht Club Sailing Foundation (LYCSF) is thrilled to announce the success of the recent “A Boat Load of Fun” raffle held at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), which raised nearly $11,000 for the Foundation’s mission. The raffle kicked off with a welcome party on October 30 and continued throughout the weekend, generating excitement and support from attendees.
The raffle offered an impressive $8,000 prize, drawing ticket sales from community members and boat show visitors alike. The proceeds from the event will directly benefit LYCSF, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sailing education and creating opportunities for youth sailors in Fort Lauderdale.

Special thanks to our generous donors, FLIBS, and all the dedicated supporters who made this event such a success.”
