Pay4ward

Come Sail Away!

Cynthia Clegg, Sue Sawchuk and Ray Hayes

Pay4ward put CFMC logo on their sails to take Veterans out on the water

Pay4ward is ready to enjoy some beautiful weather out on the water!

The nonprofit brings combat veterans sailing to help cope with P.T.S.D. Because the sails were old and in disrepair, they needed to be replaced. Pay4ward was awarded a competitive grant from CFMC to replace the 42 year old sail – and the end result is in the picture on the right!
The Community Foundation wants to extend a special thanks to Pay4ward for putting our logo on the sail!
A Place Called Hope
