Rhode Island - Bristol/ Narragansett Bay 2006 Hospice Regatta (15th Annual) Despite heavy competition from two other regattas and other local events, Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island's 15th Annual "Sail for Others" Regatta & Walk weekend raised almost $82,000 in support of compassionate end-of-life care for Rhode Islanders. HHCRI's signature fundraising weekend kicked off Friday evening with the "PreGatta Party" - a fabulous pre-regatta cocktail party hosted by Jeannie and Sam Brickle at their beautiful waterfront home in Barrington. Party-goers sampled gourmet hors d'ouevres and enjoyed cocktails aside the pool while taking in a gorgeous sunset over Narragansett Bay. The following morning, in absolutely perfect weather, 17 boats raced in a family-oriented pursuit race south of Bristol Harbor while scores of "landlubbers" walked either a 2-mile or 5-mile route around scenic Colt State Park in Bristol. Robert Manchester and Flying Turtle of Barrington won the coveted Hospice Regatta Trophy, awarded to the crew that raised the most money, while Raymond Mendillo & Family of North Providence were awarded the Hospice Walk Cup, awarded to the top-fundraising walk team. Over $5,000 was raised between them! Afterwards, participants met up with family and friends to enjoy a traditional lobster boil and clam bake on the waterfront, generously hosted by The Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol. Thank you to everyone who raced, walked, sponsored, advertised, fundraised, and/or partied to support Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island! See you next year!

The Providence Journal -- October 2000 On the eve of the Hospice Care of Rhode Island's September 16 regatta, the largest charity boat race on Narragansett Bay, it; major sponsors, some boat captains, crew members and patrons mingled under a tent by the Bay. "Nervous….Oh no, " said boat captain Bill Plunkett of Barrington. "This is for a good cause." Last year Plunkett and his wife Nancy, outfitted the crew, primarily from Barrington with eye-catching tie-dye shirts that netted them the best-dressed award. This year Plunkett and crew dressed in white shirts with red and navy trim; on the back was a photo taken at last year's race.Plunkett noted that the regatta has had large Barrington contingent because the charity race was started by Sally and Kent Phillips, who moved to Barrington from Annapolis in the early 1990's. (Kent came to Rhode Island to work for Textron.) In Annapolis, Sally played an integral role in the area's hospice regatta. She suggested a similar fundraising event for Hospice Care of Rhode Island. George Miller, chairman of the board said that the regatta has contributed some $600,000 to Hospice Care of Rhode Island in its eight years. The organization specializes in giving medical, emotional and spiritual care to terminally ill adults and children. The Phillipses attended the sponsor soiree at the waterfront Wickford home of Everett and Phoebe Fernald. "This party has been at a lovely beachfront home every year so guests can enjoy a beautiful sunset," Phillips said. Food businesses such as Ryan's Market, Center Market, Dave's Marketplace, Champlin's Seafood and Gregg's donated the food. As co-chairs Peter Kohlsaat and Betsy Steinman greeted guests at the entrance, Steinman noted that "this party has been at various locations around the state for the purpose of sending the message that the organization serves all of Rhode Island." Later, in the tent a short speaking program included remarks from the regatta's honorary chair, Jean-Pierre Mouligne. He lives in Newport and won the Class II Race Around the World Alone in 1998-99. He said he is raising money for his own around-the world ventures. "I'm in a crowd of sponsors. It's like a kid in a candy store. It's not fair, he said. "But really, this is a great event and a good cause." As for the Plunketts, after the sunset they left the party unaware that they would be rewarded not for their colorful sailing outfits, but for their speed. His boat, Main Sheet, won its class.
