Bring the Leukemia Cup to your Community.
Leukemia Cup Regatta events are more than on-water competitions.
For nearly 31 years, participants have been sailing, powerboating, and paddling in communities throughout the country in support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Individuals form fundraising teams that help galvanize relationships between friends, family and business contacts. The team that raises the most in their community receives the coveted Leukemia Cup. Events take place in a number of different ways, but all help to fund life-saving research and treatment for blood cancers. Over $70 million has been raised since the first Leukemia Cup in 1988.

My sister, Jan, was diagnosed with a very aggressive leukemia in April 2007. She is leading a very active life today as a result of research paid for by people donating to fundraisers like our Leukemia Cup Regatta. Someday this disease will not exist.

My husband and I originally got involved with The Leukemia Cup Regatta through the sailing community by joining in on the races for fun. When Steve Attaway, a friend who Ken sailed with, was diagnosed with cancer, it really hit home and became much more than just a fun race.
We have since become involved not only in the racing, but in the fundraising aspect as well. We have had three more friends diagnosed with leukemia over the past several years, which has made the need for the funding provided by The Leukemia Cup Regatta all the more relevant to us.
