Welcome to the San Francisco Bay Area Leukemia Cup Regatta!
"I don't think it's any exaggeration to say it is a fantastic idea to combine the sport we share with support for the people you care about so much. You hear the word hero a lot in connection with this sport. But to me, it is those who look illness square in the eye and take it on who have my total respect."
-Russell Coutts, Four-time America's Cup Champion and 2010 Leukemia Cup VIP Speaker
On October 20 - 21, 2012, Bay Area sailors will raise their sails and thousands of dollars in the race against blood cancer. The Leukemia Cup Committee and The San Francisco Yacht Club invite YOU to join them in the seventh annual San Francisco Bay Area Leukemia Cup benefitting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Sailors of all levels can participate!
Our Honorary Skippers and local blood cancer survivors will inspire you and connect you to the cause as you raise vital funds for blood cancer research and patient services.
