This year we volunteered as a support boat for some amazing swimmers to raise money for Baykeeper. Baykeeper watches over our waters and works hard to prevent pollution so we think it’s a great cause to support and I look forward to doing some more on the water volunteering with them this winter. Check out the video here:
Baykeeper Parade success!
