MOC Youth Foundation

The Miami Outboard Club was founded in April of 1938 with the general purpose and object of the furtherance of boating and all of its allied activities; and to foster a spirit of friendship and fellowship. In January 2000, the Miami Outboard Club Youth Foundation, a non-profit organization under section 501 (C)(3), was founded.

 

The purpose of the foundation is to provide the youth in the community, educational programs, instruction and activities related to fishing including tag and release, boating, swimming, scuba diving, and other nautical and water related activities.

 Since its inception, the Youth Foundation has assisted in community events sponsored by the Miami Outboard Club. These events include several fishing tournaments each year for kids from the Model City Neighborhood Enhancement Team. Kids board a chartered boat for a day of fishing and upon returning they are treated to lunch and receive awards and gifts. 

 The Youth Foundation also assists with the club’s yearly Senior Citizens Thanksgiving Dinner and Senior Citizens Christmas Party. For these events, busses are sent out to pick up seniors from several low income housing complexes in the Miami area who are treated to dinner, music, and gifts.

 Another event in which the Youth Foundation takes part is the Baynanza Cleanup Day.  Club members and their families donate their time and vessels to pick up kids and transport them to and from different locations around Biscayne Bay where they help in the clean up of those areas.

 During the month of December, there are several activities. The Junior Orange Bowl Parade where kids ride a float with a marine life theme, and the Miami Outboard Club Holiday Boat Parade, where the kids assist in the decoration of some of the boats, are among them.

 There are many other activities planned for the future such as swimming and boating instruction for youths and a summer camp.  These will require an investment in equipment and facilities and to that end, the Youth Foundation has been gathering funds through donations from club members, corporations, and organizations.

 One person can make a difference.  Please choose to support our organization and become part of the family of individuals, corporations and organizations that allow us to help these kids.
