Why Your Support Matters

We invite you to join us in our mission to keep Bill's legacy alive and impactful. Your generous support will help us continue the work that was so dear to Bill's heart, ensuring that his message of perseverance and hope reaches generations to come. As a supporter of The Captain William "Bill" Pinkney Legacy Foundation, you will be directly contributing to the following initiatives:

Captains Saving the Seas and Oceans

Bill was passionate about protecting our oceans and marine life. To honor this commitment, we are launching an entrepreneurial, interactive educational program aimed at young people from kindergarten through age 16. This initiative will teach children about the effects of pollution on our oceans, fostering a new generation of environmental stewards who will carry Bill's vision forward.

Permanent and Traveling Exhibits

We are curating both permanent and traveling exhibits that showcase Bill's incredible journey. These exhibits, to be housed in museums and other venues, will introduce and highlight Bill's life, achievements, and the lessons he imparted. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Bill's artifacts, view video walls, and listen to audio clips of Bill in his own words, continuing to inspire action and encourage others to embark on their own life voyages.

Support and Sponsorships for Maritime Programs

Bill strongly believed in the power of the maritime world to transform lives. Our foundation is committed to supporting programs that educate, prepare, and empower individuals—regardless of race, age, or background—to pursue careers and opportunities in the maritime field. We aim to break down barriers and provide resources to those who aspire to be part of this vital industry but may lack the means to do so.

In addition to these initiatives, the funds we raise also help cover essential business expenses that are necessary to support our mission and ensure that Bill's legacy continues to inspire and impact future generations. Your contributions enable us to maintain the infrastructure and operations that allow us to carry out this important work effectively.
