Thank you to everyone who donated to the Bayfront Maritime Center yesterday. We received $9,026 from 62 donors in just one day! We won’t know your names until we receive our Erie Gives check from the Erie Community Foundation on August 28th, but we wanted to let you know now that we are very grateful to each and everyone of you for taking the time to care.

We work hard everyday to help at-risk teens get back on track and accomplish their goals. We provide one-on-one mentoring, small class sizes, and hands-on project based learning throughout the school year and offer summer classes during the summer months. We develop career awareness and strategies designed to assist our students’ success in today’s changing job market. We offer an adaptive sailing program for those with special needs. We are building the Schooner Porcupine to serve as a floating STEM classroom for Erie students. All this takes an amazing amount of time and money and effort from both the staff and our incredible team of volunteers. Thank you for supporting our mission.
