The Moorings Establishes Charity Partnership with Pack for a Purpose

Moorings Social

 

The Moorings is proud to announce a new partnership with Pack for a Purpose, a global initiative that helps travellers make a lasting impact on their destinations and the communities within them.

Pack for a Purpose encourages individuals to use their extra luggage space to deliver much-needed supplies to local schools, medical clinics and various community projects in their destination. Upon arrival, one simply drops off their donation at a designated local business and continues their vacation with the satisfaction of helping others in need.

The Moorings’ flagship base in the British Virgin Islands will be the first of the company’s global locations to participate in the initiative. The base will work to support Family Support Network (FSN) in their various efforts to eradicate domestic violence in the BVI and beyond. Through education that leads to prevention, support for those in crisis, and rehabilitation through counseling and networking, FSN hopes to achieve its mission, but they can’t do it alone.

Charter clients are encouraged to visit http://www.moorings.com/socialresponsibility before their trip. Here, they’ll find a list of common, inexpensive items that they can easily pack in their luggage and drop off at the base upon their arrival. Moorings staff will gather all donations at the end of the month and deliver them to the Family Support Network.

“Basic supplies like diapers, pens and socks might not seem that significant to many of us, but they can make a world of difference for a non-profit like Family Support Network,” said Shannan Brennan, Head of Global Marketing for The Moorings. “What’s amazing about Pack for a Purpose is how easy they make it for a company and customers like ours to help. We look forward to giving back to the community that’s given so much to us over the years.”

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
