The Ned Kyle Boat Auction DONATE A BOAT...BUY A BOAT! JUNE 9, 2012 YMCA Parking Lot 116 Union Street, Rockport Registration Begins at 9:00 AM Auction Begins at 10:00 AM ABSENTEE BID FORM
This is one of the Penobscot Bay YMCA's largest fundraisers of the year. Since the first launch in 1998, this major fundraising event has raised over $350,000 to support the YMCA Scholarship Program. This year's auction will continue to provide much needed support for the YMCA Summer Camp kids and families as well as program participants. Membership and programs are open to everyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, place of residence or financial capacity.
DONATE YOUR BOAT! The YMCA is looking for new or old boats (sail, power, dinghy, kayak, canoe, skiffs, rowing shells, surf boards and just about anything that floats) or marine items that individuals would like to donate for a tax write-off. Someone from the YMCA will stop by and make sure it is suitable, and arrange for transportation at no expense to the donor.
The Boat Auction's success is due mainly to boat donations by private owners and through personal referrals. The YMCA will pay a 10% Finder's Fee (defined as 10% of the actual selling price) to anyone who helps locate a boat that is donated to the Boat Auction. The boat owner can claim the selling price as a tax deduction.
To donate a boat or for more information, please contact Marcia Roberts, YMCA Development and Marketing Director, at 207.236.3375 or e-mail her at mroberts@penbayymca.org.
