When we did the first YachtCon last year, we really didn’t know if we’d ever do another. Although we raised about $3,500 for the PBMU at Seattle Children’s, it was a ton of work and sucked up a lot of bandwidth.
As this season was heading toward the finish line, we started getting a lot of questions about bringing it back. But after the Sounders won their first-ever MLS Cup, we felt it was practically our duty.
Part of why we had resisted in the first place, though, was that we didn’t want to do it just to do it.
