The Leukemia Cup Regatta

Friday, June 25th - Sunday, June 27th

The Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is pleased to announce the dates of the 2010 Leukemia Cup Regatta. The regatta will take place on June 25 - 27 at The Houston Yacht Club, at 3620 Miramar Drive, Shoreacres, Texas 77571.

The Leukemia Cup Regatta is a series of sailing races that take place at yacht clubs throughout the United States. Sailors raise money for LLS through pledges and individual donations, and compete for prizes and awards. The 2009 event raised just over $157,000. Our goal for 2010 is to raise $188,000 which will be challenging in this tough economy, but we know that the sailing community will come through and help us fight leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Funds raised support LLS's mission: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. To participate as a fundraising sailor or 'virtual' sailor, fundraisers without boats, please contact Shandrika May or Elizabeth Weiss at 713.680.8088 and/or shandrika.may@lls.org or elizabeth.weiss@lls.org.
