Over 8.8 million RMB was donated by China Merchants Bank, Huaxia Bank, Bank of Communications and 45 other financial enterprises for Qingdao's campaign to bring Olympic sailing onto local school campuses. This will help promote primary and secondary Olympic sailing to young local talented athletes. The ‘Double Thousand Project’ goals include the creation of one hundred Youth Sailing Clubs, the training 1000 junior sailors, and the purchase of 1000 sailboats for use by students in the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Regatta.
