Complimentary valet parking is available. The Judd Goldman Foundation supports a learn-to-sail program for the disabled and an inner-city program for youth, providing a way to gain new skills, overcome obstacles and achieve self-esteem and independence.

The Foundation is proud to have as our honored Gala guests the Independence Cup/U.S. Para Sailing Championship sailors competing this weekend for the U.S. championship for sailors with disabilities.
