Leukemia Cup Regatta Birmingham Sailing Club

Mon 17th September 2012, 7am - 3pm

Birmingham, Alabama United States

Event Description:

You can raise more than a sail to help fight leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma by raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Captains, crew and non-sailors alike are encouraged to join in the fight to eradicate blood cancer.

Fundraising is easy and doesn't need to be time consuming. Just ask us how you can get started! Each participant receives a comprehensive fundraising handbook filled with incentives, event ideas and sample letters. We'll also help you set up an online fundraising website. Fundraising online is one of the easiest and quickest ways to make an impact. Top Fundraisers can qualify for great prizes, but you'll also be helping save lives and to find cures for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

Leukemia is the number-one disease killer of children. However, it affects eight times as many adults. The good news is that the cure rates have increased dramatically over the past 30 years. With your support, we could see the end of leukemia and lymphoma within our lifetime! These statistics are why we welcome this incredible opportunity to help others who are fighting these diseases.
