The St. Joseph's/Candler Leukemia Cup is more than boats and crew racing. In Savannah, it is a community coming together to help fight leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers, through a Series of Premier Sporting Events; Clay Shoot, 5k Run/Walk, Golf, Fishing, Tennis, Sailing, Auction and more.
ON TARGET FOR A CURE: Leukemia Cup Clays. 100 Targets, 14 Stations, 4 Shooters per team. It is April 28, 2012 at 3pm at the Forest City Gun Club. Afterwards enjoy award winning BBQ and a silent auction. Click here for clay sponsorship and event information.
Our inspiration: Our Honored Hero for the 2011 St. Joseph's/Candler Leukemia Cup was Madison, Age 5. Honored Heroes are special volunteers for our Weekend of Events. Those diagnosed with a blood cancer are survivors from the day of diagnosis forward. Survivors are heroes. It is our privilege to know and celebrate our Honored Hero, Madison.
Thank you! The 2011 St. Joseph's/Candler Leukemia Cup raised more than $340,000 this year-- a record in fundraising! This brings our total to nearly $3.2 million raised for our mission since the event began in 1997.

We were thrilled to have had three successful events preempting our 2011 Leukemia Cup Event Weekend.
Our Second Annual Yacht Hop, was held June 25, 2011 at the Savannah Yacht Club.
