During the winter season the Jolly Harbour Yacht Club along with the Jolly Harbour Arts Group embarked on a charity fund raising campaign to benefit local charities. The charities chosen were ABSAR, SailAbility Antigua and to help local sailor, Jules Mitchell with his goal to represent Antigua & Barbuda in the 2020 Olympic Games.
The funds were raised from a auction of art work from the JH Art Group and JHYC organised events such as Treasure Hunts, Pudding Club, Beetle Drive, Beach BBQ’s. With great appreciation to the many helpers involved in the organisation of the events.
The charity campaign raised a total of EC$17,800 with EC$8,400 going to SailAbility, EC$4,700 to Antigua & Barbuda Search and Rescue (ABSAR) and EC$4,700 going to Jules Mitchell.
