Providing A Unique Sailing Experience For Children And Adults With Special Needs
Home
The Sailing Angels Foundation offers free sailing excursions on a daily basis for education, respite and recreational therapy. Originally serving individuals with cognitive challenges, physical challenges and life threatening illnesses, we have since expanded our reach to include those suffering from severe traumatic experiences and socially challenged children. These guests include “at risk” children, military veterans, first responders, families of the incarcerated, bereaved families and those recovering from domestic violence. Families and caretakers are always welcome on these trips. Our mission is to bring peace, healing and happiness to the individual and their families. The program is often transformational to the individuals and their families. We create priceless memories, one sail at a time!
The Sailing Angels Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, based in the Greater Houston area.

IN REMEMBERANCE Last night, the Sailing Angels Team sadly lost our 5th volunteer: Cherie LeCompte. Cherie joined our team in 2016 and was a highly reliable, cheerful & loving volunteer; she looked after and warmed the hearts of so many special patrons!
And now, we pray that she is at peace in a much better place with our Lord, and along with her fellow Angels (Roger, Jeannette, Mike & Angelo): as they look down upon us and guide us, as we Sailing Angels continue to serve and provide loving care to many, many more in the community of special needs.
Cherie, you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Our condolences go out to Devon, Shawn, and Reagan. ... See MoreSee Less
We are very grateful to this lovely lady for all she has lovingly given to our Sailing Angels and the many we have served. It was always a joy to have her loving help and care for those in need. Farewell my special friend!
So sorry for your loss. Sailing angels is a wonderful organization with terrific volunteers. She will be missed.
Thank you all for your well wishes my mother would love them and she did love sailing angels very much! I got to do a few events and I really had a great time as well. I’ll share this with my family thank you so much!
Cherie was an amazing woman who gave selflessly to her sailing community and family. The sailing community mourns her loss and will be forever grateful for her never ending commitment!
I will miss her , neighbor, friend and dedicated Sailing Angel.
