The Coast Guard Foundation this week announced that it is partnering with the Chicago International Boat Show to raise funds for its charitable mission. Ticket buyers will have the option to add a $1 donation to the foundation, which supports Coast Guard personnel and their families.
The new boat show is scheduled for Aug. 22-24 at Navy Pier Marina.
“Partnering with the Coast Guard Foundation means more than just putting on a great event,” Anthony Trimino, CEO of Revel Republic, the team behind the Chicago show, said in a statement. “It’s our way of supporting the Coast Guard community and showing appreciation for their service.”
Donations support the Coast Guard Foundation’s mission, which includes providing scholarships and education grants for Coast Guard children and spouses, emergency relief for Coast Guard families when natural disasters strike, and morale and wellness programs that strengthen the Coast Guard community.
