The Foundation greatly appreciates the financial contributions by many individuals and businesses. Without this support, The Foundation would not be able to operate the Sand Man at Percival Landing. By far the major expense of the organization is the cost of insurance, which is required in order to allow the public to come aboard. The support by the Friends of the Sand Man has been invaluable in enabling the Foundation to continue in operation. If you would like to become a member of Friends of the Sand Man, please contact us at: tugsandman@gmail.com.
