7th Annual Sharp HospiceCare Benefit Regatta
SAN DIEGO — Sharp HospiceCare, Coronado Yacht Club and Cortez Racing Association hosted the Seventh Annual Sharp HospiceCare Benefit Regatta on Friday, Aug. 28 and Saturday, Aug. 29. The event netted a total of more than $186,000, which will support Sharp HospiceCare’s program to build hospice homes in San Diego. The event launched Friday evening at the Hotel Del Coronado with a pre-race dinner and program emceed by former KNSD weather anchor, Pat Brown. The sold-out gathering included dinner for more than 360 guests, a live and silent auction and dancing. On Saturday, 19 privately owned yachts sponsored 270 guests who enjoyed a view of the race while on the water. Saturday’s regatta drew 48 sailboat racers who competed on a course stretching from the north end to the south end of the San Diego Bay. The boat, Anarchy, skippered by Scot Tempesta, won the overall regatta, and will qualify to compete in the 2010 National Hospice Regatta Championship in Rochester, New York. Two teams of doctors participated in an exhibition race, Physicians’ Challenge, aboard legendary America’s Cup sailing yachts, as part of fundraising efforts. Winning the event were doctors from Sharp Community Medical Group, who crewed Stars and Stripes, beating out challengers from Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group aboard Abracadabra. Proceeds from the event will benefit Sharp HospiceCare, an organization that provides comprehensive care and compassionate support for patients and their families struggling with a life-limiting illness. The money raised directly funds Sharp HospiceCare’s Homes for Hospice campaign, an initiative to build hospice homes in San Diego. The campaign has led to the completion of the organization’s second hospice home in Del Cerro. Grossmont Healthcare District, the title sponsor of the regatta, donated $30,000 to the event.
