The Leukemia Cup is a fundraising event! Many captains and crew did more than raise a sail in 2011. They helped fight leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkins lymphoma and myeloma by raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society while participating in The Leukemia Cup Regatta weekend of events.
In 2011, 65 captains and their crews from Rhode Island and other New England States combined a passion for sailing with a commitment to help cancer patients, raising more than $166,000 to help cure blood cancers. This represents a 13% increase in revenue from 2010!

A big thank you to The New York Yacht Club for hosting the event again in 2011.
