Welcome to the Desert Mountain States Chapter
Leukemia Cup Regatta
If you have already registered for the 2012 Regatta, click here to set up your fundraising page!
For the past 12 years, AYC has opened the national Leukemia Cup Regatta calendar on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, pairing it with the club?s long-running Birthday Regatta. Since 2006, the event has expanded to three days, with the addition of the Friday Eventagram Centerboard Challenge for smaller boats. Despite the recession, last year they raised $78,000, bringing the total to $500,000 for fight against blood cancers. To register for our upcoming Leukemia Cup Regatta on January 13-15, 2012, please contact Jim Brewer at jim.brewer@lls.org for more information. Hope to see you there!
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 2011 Leukemia Cup Regatta, held January 14-16 at Lake Pleasant, raised $41,000 to support the fight against blood cancers. This signature sailing event has raised more than $300,000 in Arizona in the last 4 years.
We would especially like to acknowledge the Arizona Yacht Club (AYC), for their commitment over the past 9 years in running a safe and very competitive sailing race for us. The need for continued investments in research is critical. More than 900,000 people in the United States are currently living with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and an estimated 55,000 will lose their battle over the coming year. The chapter holds its sailing fundraiser in conjunction with the AYC, who celebrate their Birthday Regatta over the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday weekend each year. Fundraising events depend upon the support of the area community.
LLS gratefully acknowledges its 2011 Leukemia Cup Regatta sponsors: Arizona Yacht Club, Wolters Kluwer, Protea Medical Center, Phoenix School of Law, ST Microelectronics, Smith Law Group, West Marine, North Sail, SailShop, AGM Technical Solution, Arizona Boating and Water Sports, Mount Gay Rum, Sailing World, vineyard vines, Jobson Sailing, John Mecray, Ken Gardiner, The Heislers, AmeriChoice, United Healthcare, Colligo Marine, Casa Technology Systems and Full Sail Brewery.
