Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
CRW EVENTS, A CHARITABLE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, OPERATES WITH THE GOAL OF PROMOTING AMATEUR ATHLETIC SAILING FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT. OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE UP-AND-COMING COLLEGE COMMUNITY OF YOUNG SAILORS AND BEGINNERS OF ALL AGES. OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE NURTURED RELATIONSHIPS WITH SAILORS WHO SHARE OUR PASSION FOR BOATING, PARTICULARLY SAILING. OUR ANNUAL EVENT, A THRILLING 4-DAY SAILING RACE, AIMS TO BRING TOGETHER SAILORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. HOWEVER, WE RECOGNIZE THAT ACHIEVING THIS WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS, GENEROUS SPONSORS, AND THE GRANTS WE RECEIVE. OUR INTEGRITY, CREATIVITY, AND CORE VALUES ARE DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE SAILING COMMUNITY. OUR LONG-TERM VISION INCLUDES BOLSTERING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF A COMMUNITY SAILING CENTER-A HUB FOR FOSTERING PARTICIPATION AND EDUCATION IN SAILING.
