The regatta festivities kick off soon so here’s all you need to know to have the best time and make a maximum impact at the final charity regatta of the year.
Race Registration – Sign up to race in the 44th Hospice Cup here.
Crew Lunches – pre-order here! The deadline to order lunches is Thursday, September 11 at noon. A portion of the sales go to our partner hospices, so make sure to feed your hungry crews!
Team Fundraising – Compete for the Geri Manning Memorial Trophy and the Charity Triple Crown Trophy by setting up your team and encouraging crewmates, friends, family and colleagues to donate. Click here to set that up.
CREW FINDER – Need crew? We’ve got youth sailors from Brendan Sailing AND a handful of hospice care workers (nurses, social workers, admins and more) who want to race with you! Email me at info@hospicecup.org and I will help you get linked up.
