NMDA Makes Contribution to Grow Boating Rising Tide Fund
CHICAGO, September 1, 2006 - - The National Marine Distributors Association (NMDA) 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.
Established in 2006, the Rising Tide Fund is a means by which industry stakeholders can pledge voluntary contributions at varying levels of commitment to the Grow Boating Initiative. The pledge commitment lasts for three years and can be made at the following levels: Participant ($1-$2,999); Bronze ($3,000-$14,999); Silver ($15,000-$29,999); Gold ($30,000-$74,999); Platinum ($75,000-$149,999); Double Platinum ($150,000-$224,999); and Triple Platinum ($225,000-$299,999).
“NMDA is fully on-board with the Grow Boating Initiative and is committed to helping it succeed throughout the industry,” says 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.”
The Grow Boating Initiative is an integrated effort among organizations with an interest in the recreational marine industry to promote the boating lifestyle and improve the boating experience. Comprised of a strategic set of programs focusing on all areas of boating including the national Discover Boating marketing campaign, water access, dealer and product certification and research, the Grow Boating Initiative is designed to increase participation in boating and improve sales of marine products and services.
