BELMAR — A $1 million capital campaign to build a multifaceted
"sailing center," which will support the educational and
philanthropic activities of the Friends of Belmar Harbor
and the borough's municipal government, was kicked off at
a news conference at the L Street beach on the Shark River
on Wednesday.
The center will reach more than 400 children this season
in programs from high school sailing teams to a low-cost
camp instruction, scholarship and inner-city sailor programs.
About $800,000 in state grants has already been raised,
and $1 million more is needed. The borough is donating the
land for the project.
