CHICAGO – The National Marine Distributors Association recently became a Gold-Level contributor to the Grow Boating Initiative’s Rising Tide Fund with a $30,000 donation – $10,000 a year over a three-year period.
NMDA’s pledge brings the grand total of Rising Tide Fund contributions to more than $260,000 since January, the National Marine Manufacturers Association reported in a release today.
“NMDA is fully on-board with the Grow Boating Initiative and is committed to helping it succeed throughout the industry,” said Nancy Cueroni, NMDA executive director. “NMDA contributed $50,000 to the Grow Boating start-up fund when the Initiative was just getting off the ground, and this most recent donation is evidence of continued support on behalf of the marine distributors.”
