The Endeavour Community Sailing Programme will benefit from more than $6,000 thanks to a Bermuda Tourism Authority promotion.

The BTA attracted donations of $200 and more by offering in exchange it’s bright pink tourism branded bean bags that made an appearance on Front Street during the America’s Cup Louis Vuitton World Series earlier this month.

The total amount raised for the Endeavour Programme is $6,227.

“We’re proud to have played a role in helping this America’s Cup legacy programme serve our community of young people with the benefits of science, technology, engineering, arts, maths and sailing,” said Victoria Isley, BTA’s chief sales and marketing officer.
