Rehoboth Bay Foundation’s endeavors are funded by financial contributions and by the donation of boats and trailers that the Foundation either uses for its programs or sells to support its programs. It is primarily RBSA volunteers who plan and run the events held at the Club and the Foundation’s Board especially welcomes member’s suggestions of new projects and programs
In order to continue the Foundation’s work, please help by making a tax-deductible donation to the RBF and/or by donating a boat or trailer that you may have but no longer use.
