Get Your Engines Started for the Junior Sail-A-Thon
on Sunday April 13, 2003 11:57PM
On June 20, 2003 Fishing Bay Yacht Club will again host the Junior Sail-A-Thon to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thanks to the many participants, the 2002 event was a huge success, raising over $1000! With everyones hard work, our goal for this year is to double that amount!
The Junior Sail-A-Thon will be held on Friday, June 20 at the conclusion of Junior Week at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. The event is a sailing fundraiser for kids to collect pledges and donations for the number of laps they can sail around the course in the allotted timeframe. This is not a race. Trophies will be given for the top fundraisers. In addition, each participant will receive a goodie bag and an official Volvo Leukemia Cup Regatta Tee Shirt.
Event brochures have been mailed which include a pledge form for the kids to begin fundraising now. We hope that all parents and kids will participate and Raise a Sail. Save a Life in the fight against blood cancers. A fundraising manual is available upon request, which includes helpful information to reach your goal. For more information on this event or related regatta events, please contact Judy Buis at 804-358-9475 or e-mail her at judybuis@attbi.com. Thank you in advance for your support and participation! We look forward to seeing you on June 20, 2003. Sincerely, Judy Buis Co-Chairperson Regatta Planning Committee
