Raising Funds for Struggling Youth Through Donated Boats for Sale
For decades, Rawhide Youth Services has connected troubled teenagers with therapists, mentors, and specialized healing programs designed to give them a second chance at life. When the supports systems in their lives break down, Rawhide steps in to fill that gap with compassionate, structured, and consistent care
Each story of recovery begins with community generosity, and one of the most meaningful ways our supporters help is through our donated boats for sale and other donated vehicles that directly fund our mission.
Donated boats from generous individuals and families are sold to support Rawhide Youth Services rather than sitting unused. Proceeds from these donated boats and watercraft fund critical programs for at-risk teens, including:
- mental and behavioral health counseling
- academic support, education programs and job training
- residential treatment and therapeutic care
Many donors choose Rawhide for our transparent boat donation program and our commitment to responsible stewardship. Donated boats are professionally evaluated and prepared for sale to maximize their market value, allowing us to create a greater, lasting impact for at-risk youth through mental and behavioral health services.
Each donation supports the continuation of our therapeutic and educational services, and donors may also qualify for a tax deduction or even a tax-deductible claim depending on their tax return and IRS guidelines. When donors give, they don’t just part with property: they invest in lives
Whether you’re searching for donated boats for sale, sailboats ready to take on open waters, or small dinghies ideal for lakes and rivers, you’ll find something in our listings that fits your needs and your heart. Each purchase carries forward a story of generosity and renewal.

Your Purchase Fuels Support Programs For Struggling Youth
Since 1965, we have been giving our all to change the lives of the disenfranchised teens in our community and have improved the lives of over 1900 youth and their families in 2024. With the staunch support of donors from within the community and without, such as our decades-old partnership with the Green Bay Packers, we have fought to help teenagers struggling with anxiety and depression, childhood abuse and trauma, or risks of suicide.
Whether they are in need of counseling, group support, or other forms of intervention, we have sought to meet every patient at their ability and work with them to give them a brighter future.
For young men and women in need of structure and consistent support, we have crafted two residential therapy campuses to give them the role models they have lacked in their lives. By simulating a familial environment with staff living on-site, we provide these young adults with academic and recreational paths to rebuilding confidence and responsibility that will serve them well long after they leave our campus. We also provide tutoring to provide academic aid that allows them to further their education where they might not have been able to otherwise.
