Audi Hilton Head and the Hilton Head Boys & Girls Club’s Fund-a-Need program are providing scholarships for area children to attend sailing camp this week at the South Carolina Yacht Club at Windmill Harbour Marina.

Kids were chosen for the sailing scholarships based on their responsibility, a desire to learn how to sail and a high level of comfort on the water. Among the recipients were six members of the Boys & Girls Club.

Audi Hilton Head provided two scholarships. The rest were sponsored by Fund-a-Need as part of the club’s annual gala, of which Audi Hilton Head is the presenting sponsor.

“We’re so happy that these kids are getting to experience being on the beautiful waterways of Hilton Head, through our support,” said Warner Peacock, President & CEO of Peacock Automotive, the parent company of Audi Hilton Head. “The South Carolina Yacht Club is a great place for the Boys & Girls Club members to have an introduction to the sport.”

The sailing camp will continue through Friday, July 20, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
