Richmond Yacht Club benefits local charities

The Richmond Yacht Club again reached out this year to four local charities with funds raised from events it held over three days in August.

The annual Taste of Richmond dinner and the two-day Richmond Riviera Regatta raised more than $28,000 that represents more of a lifeline than a windfall for the recipient programs at a time when need is increasing faster than donations.   MORE

Meet a Charity : YES - Youth Enrichment Strategies

Some children who live in North, South, and Central Richmond have never tasted salt water, though it is just a few miles from their home. The world-famous Golden Gate Bridge stretches off in the horizon, a symbol of the proximity of wonders that are out of their reach.

Youth Enrichment Strategies provides children and families access to experiences in the natural environment – opportunities that can ignite the imagination, build self-confidence and enhance social skills.  Exposure to an array of enriching experiences creates a child’s sense of possibilities and provides the foundation for success.
