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 Memory of MICHAEL HAJTMAN                                                                                                                                                   
We are saddened by the recent passing of this great man and loving friend of our Sailing Angels. Since the beginning of our charitable initiatives, providing therapeutic tranquility and respite to the vast community in need, even before we formally established ourselves as a non-profit charity, Mike recognized the value of our service and was there, encouraging and supporting our mission.

Michael was a most outstanding man who cherished his earned citizenship and valued the freedom, abundant opportunities and gifts offered by this country.  He loved life, his family, and friends.  He and we shared the intense passion to make this world a bit better for those in need.

More personally, I am so grateful for having been gifted with the opportunity to know and love Mike as my ‘brother’, and along with my business partner, Capt. Bob, for being able to introduce him to sailing.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Michael’s wife Sandie, their daughter Laura, grandchildren, and his extended family within the Albert & Ethel Herzstein Charitable Foundation.

May God bless Michael as we are confident, he is seated on-high among our fellow Sailing Angels teammates who preceded us and now look down upon us and the many we lovingly serve.Image attachmentImage attachment+2Image attachment
