Raise Funds!
You can raise more than a sail to help fight leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma by raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society while participating in The Leukemia Cup Regatta weekend of events. Captains, crew and non-sailors alike are encouraged to join in the fight to eradicate blood cancer. You can also make a donation in support of an event participant.
Fundraising is easy, just ask us how you can get started! Each participant receives a comprehensive fundraising handbook filled with incentives, event ideas and sample letters. We'll also help you set up an online fundraising website. Proceeds raised from the Regatta will help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund blood cancer research and patient aid. With generous donations from local sponsors and the dedication of our fundraisers, the Long Island Chapter's Leukemia Cup raises well over $50,000 annually.
