PIER LEADERSHIP: Sponsors are the bedrock of the Battleship Cove Community Boating Program. Now entering its ninth season, BCCB is poised to deliver its offerings to an even broader audience.

Follow this link to learn how you, your company, or your foundation can support this blossoming youth sailing program!

Once again, BCCB is striving to teach every child to enjoy Fall River’s waterfront, regardless of financial ability. Through grants and donations from our generous sponsors (at left), BCCB is able to offer a limited number of youth scholarships to qualified families. Since this program's inception in 2001, thousands of inner-city youths have been introduced to free sailing at Heritage State Park.
