Raise a Sail, Save a Life!
Welcome to the San Francisco Bay Area Leukemia Cup Regatta!
On October 2nd & 3rd, 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 fifth annual Bay Area Leukemia Cup benefitting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Sailors of all levels, including those interested in our new cruising class and those new to the sport of sailing, can participate in the Leukemia Cup. Our Honorary Skippers and local blood cancer survivors will inspire you and remind you of the LLS mission as you join forces to raise vital funds to support our quest for a cure.
Sign up today to start fundraising in support of our Honorary Skippers and qualify for VIP tickets and exciting incentive prizes!
