America's Largest Charity Regatta

Shore Party

Horn Point Marina, September 19, 2026 5:30PM

Join us after the Hospice Cup regatta! Together we'll celebrate the gift of hospice care and everyone sailing to support it.  Not a sailor?  Not problem.  Friends, family, neighbors, and guests are all welcome.

Why We're Here

A community that shows up for each other.

Hospice Cup started as a regatta and grew into something bigger: a whole community — sailors, families, local restaurants, and neighbors who've never touched a tiller — pulling together for people facing the hardest chapter of their lives. The Shore Party is where that community gathers. Every burger served, every auction bid, every song sung on the dock funds hospice care for someone who needs it. Come for the party. Stay because you believe in what it pays for.

The Course

Five stops on shore.

Just like the regatta itself, the evening runs a course — each stop part of what makes the night, and the fundraiser, work.

1.
Mark One — Catering Cove

Oysters, Burgers, and Brews, Oh My!

A full spread of burgers off the grill, along with appetizers, oysters, and desserts to close it out. Your ticket also covers two drink tickets at the bar — because a toast to the cause is part of the deal.

2.
Mark Two — The Dock Stage

Live music by Gretna Green.

Music on the water all evening, setting the tone from cocktail hour through the last bid of the auction.

3.
Mark Three — Auction Alley

Live & silent auction.

Bid on packages donated by local businesses and supporters — every winning bid goes directly to hospice care. This is where the community puts its money where its heart is.

4.
Mark Four — Awards Anchorage

Regatta awards ceremony.

The fleet comes ashore and we celebrate this year's sailors and champions — the reason there's a course to run in the first place.

5.
Mark Five — Golf off the Dock

Take a swing for hospice.

Launch biodegradable golf balls from the dock and make a splash for a good cause — the only thing left behind is your bragging rights.

Your Ticket

Here's what's included. Just show up.

One price gets you the whole evening — food, drinks, music, and a seat at the table for a cause that touches every corner of our community.
