As part of our commitment to supporting the community, RPYC have chosen the following organisations. If you are looking for an cause to support, we encourage you to support one of the worthy causes below. You will find links to each organisation below.
RPYC has embarked on a journey to foster and develop Australia’s next generation of sailing champions via the Elliot 7 Youth Training Project. To achieve the goals set out, our Club has partnered with the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF).
RPYC are proud to host this nationally recognised not-for-profit organisation, based out of our Crawley Club House. Sailability are a fantastic community of dedicated volunteers, offering weekly sailing opportunities for people with a disability, regardless of their ability, mobility or circumstances.
In 2019, RPYC reached out to Give a Feed WA to assist their efforts in supporting families in need over the Christmas holiday season. Every year since, our Club community has rallied together to donate nearly 350 Christmas Hampers to this fantastic charity.
For nearly three decades, RPYC have proudly hosted a Camp Quality Day in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Mount Lawley, where Members come together to offer sailing and boating experiences to children and families who are living with cancer. This event is always a fantastic day filled with laughter and cheer for children and their families.
Starlight Children’s Foundation is about Brightening the lives of sick kids. In conjunction with Swan River Sailing and Sailability, the Club hosts the Starlight WA Extravaganza providing an day of adventures out on the water and just as much fun and laughter back onshore. It’s the perfect way to help kids forget about all things medical!
RPYC work with the Make-a-Wish foundation to offer children and their families on-water experiences when requested.
RPYC proudly supports life cyle for canteen each year through the provision of catering and volunteer support. Life Cycle is a registered charity which runs events for OnRoad and OffRoad cyclists in WA.
