The Sharp HospiceCare Benefit Regatta returns Friday, August 26, and Saturday, August 27. Hosted by Sharp HospiceCare, Coronado Yacht Club, and Cortez Racing Association, it will benefit the Homes for Hospice campaign, an initiative to build hospice homes in San Diego. Friday’s pre-race dinner is followed by all-day festivities on Saturday, when guests board sponsored yachts and cruise along the race course for breathtaking views of the regatta and San Diego Bay. Proceeds will support comprehensive care and support for patients and their families struggling with a life-limiting illness. For tickets please call Bill Navrides.
