NHRA Alliance Hospice Regattas
Charity Sailing Events Supporting End-of-Life Care
WHAT ARE HOSPICE REGATTAS?
Hospice regattas are day-long or multi-day sailboat racing events held to raise money for local nonprofit hospices. Hundreds of sailors, organizers, sponsors, and supporters around the country raise more than $1 million each year while enjoying the competition and unique camaraderie of these events.
How You Can Participate
Whether you are a sailor, or someone who has been touched by hospice, or you just want to get involved, there are plenty of opportunities.
what our sailors have to say
“We [won the Championship] much the same way hospice cares for families in difficult times. They do not just go through the motions, but show the way to overcome adversity one step at a time.”
“[My husband] Steve was able to die with dignity and was in control of his destiny…Many people don’t have the gift that I was given.”
“When we organized the Tampa Bay Hospice Cup, we thought to emphasize the idea of sailing for fun and for hospice.”
“The amount of money that’s generated in these events is really why we do this.”
“We’re gonna be out there sailing one way or another. If we can do it to benefit a good cause, we’re happy to do that.”
“We’ve all had friends that hospice has taken care of. That’s why we love to come and raise some money…Some day we may need that, too.”
