Over the last several weeks, Codfish Gear has been working with the organizers of the MIT Sloan Baltic cohort to create amazing sweat pants for their “ocean”.  Codfish Gear even sold for the Baltics online!  All proceeds from the sale of these items went toward the charity auction to benefit Hands on Disaster Response (HODR), a non-profit that helps with natural disaster recovery.  Codfish Gear also gave some special items to the auction!  Good luck MIT Baltics in supporting HODR!  You can also donate to HODR at their web site, www.hodr.org

This weekend, the Cottage Park Yacht Club is hosting the 15th Make-a-Wish Regatta to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Greater Boston.  This is a fabulous event that draws hundreds of sailors from across the state to compete and raise money for a great cause.  For the 6th year, Codfish Gear has designed and supplied the regatta t-shirts as well as made a donation of Codfish Gear and a custom made tote bag created from sail cloth by our Co-Founder Patricia McNamara-Vannoni to the event’s silent auction.  If you are in the area of CPYC this weekend, you should definitely stop by, bid on the auction items, buy some raffle tickets or even leave a donation for the cause.  It is in tough economic times like these that the Make-a-Wish Foundation needs our help even more.
