13th Annual Hospice Regatta of Greater Hampton Roads
June 16, 2007

Our Mission...
It is the mission of the participating hospices to provide quality care for adults and children with life threatening illnesses. That care extends to their families both during the patient's final months and beyond. Whether this care is given in one's home, a nursing home, or hospital, our hospices provide the patient and the family physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support.

Our Goal...
The goal of the hospice regatta is to raise money for our participating, not for profit, hospices, and to raise public awareness. We believe that the last months, weeks, and days of life should be as meaningful and filled with as much love and caring as possible. To this end, we are committed to help ensure that hospice care is available to all who seek it, regardless of ability to pay.

How You Can Help...
Send your check, payable to Hampton Roads Hospice Regatta, to PO Box 11088, Newport News, VA 23601. Your contribution is tax deductible. If you would like a receipt, please request one and we will be happy to send it to you.

10th Annual Hampton Roads Hospice Regatta
August 8, 2004

FAIR WINDS FOR HAMPTON ROADS HOSPICE REGATTA

August 8 was "an absolutely perfect day of sailboat racing" in the Southern Chesapeake Bay.

Twenty-three boats turned out, racing in a West to Northwest breeze of 5-10 knots, with some gusts to 12 knots. No one was over the starting line early, no one protested anyone else, and everyone repaired to the new Hampton Yacht Club deck for crabs, beer and sodas.

The sailors contributed above and beyond their entry fees, and a silent auction raised additional money for Riverside Hospice and Edmarc Hospice for Children.

Overall winner Sanford Richardson.
