Sail Beyond Cancer Newport Invites Collaboration

Written by NBYA | Apr 16, 2026 5:30:00 PM

If you are looking for an inspiring guest speaker or a
meaningful cause to align your events with, we invite you to collaborate with Sail Beyond Cancer Newport.

Our mission is honoring those challenged by cancer by harnessing the healing powers of wind, water, and sail. Sail Beyond Cancer Newport is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families living with cancer through restorative sailing experiences that foster
connection, peace, and time together.

We do this by offering free, private 3-hour sailing experiences on Narragansett Bay—aboard both generously donated vessels, including  our 48’ Dawn ketch, ALBA, as well as private boats through our private boat partner program.

These meaningful experiences allow guests to step away from the challenges of illness
and enjoy a peaceful “day without cancer,” surrounded by the beauty of the water and
the support of a caring sailing community.

There are several ways your club or organization can get involved:
 
  • Volunteer: Join our crew—on or off the water—by completing a volunteer application on our website.
  • Nominate: Know someone facing cancer? You can nominate patients, caregivers, or families for a sailing experience through our online form.\
  • Donate: Contributions help ensure that every experience remains completely free for those we serve, expanding our ability to reach more individuals in need.


To learn more, schedule our Executive Director or guest speaker, or explore ways to
collaborate, please visit www.sailbeyondcancer.org  or contact Lynn at lynn@sbcnewport.org.


Together, we can make a meaningful difference—both on and off the water.
