What is The Leukemia Cup Regatta?

Since 1993, sailors across America have been raising more than just a sail to help save the lives of children and adults with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. Over $12 million has been raised over the last 10 years in support of this great cause. In 2003 alone, the sailing community raised more than $2.6 million at 45 regattas across the country. More than 17,000 participants took part in The Leukemia Cup Regatta series last year. Noted sailing expert and ESPN commentator, Gary Jobson, serves as the national chairman.

Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club hosted the first North Texas Leukemia Cup Regatta in 2002 and broke the mold with achieving status of the highest grossing first year regatta in this national event’s history. That was only the beginning, Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club has continued to expand and grow The Leukemia Cup Regatta benefiting the North Texas Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With this year adding a Dinghy weekend on April 24 & 25 at Corinthian Sailing Club on White Rock Lake.

We hope you’ll join us this year. With goals of attracting 1000 participants over the two weekends, hosting over 125 sailors and raising $100,000 or more, this Regatta is sure to be fun for all and the event of a lifetime for all involved.
