Apothecary Shed

With over 100 individual donors, Team Tartan came in first in fundraising for the second year running, this time raising over $25,550 ($.60 over in fact) to fund research and wipe out blood cancer. Together with our fellow sailors, the DC Leukemia Cup Regatta crew raised $160,000 all told.

BTW, you can still chip in here if you feel like piling on!

Before the day.

Special Team Tartan thanks to Phil Venables who made an eye-popping $15K donation to our efforts. But everybody’s donation, large or small, is worthy of thanks and praise. So thank you all for the support and the donations that helped us raise so much for a superb cause. The Cup is yours!

The Cup is yours!

This year, with over 100 boats participating on the water we took second place (again, we know, we know), narrowly finishing behind a well-sailed J-boat that notched one more first-place bullet than we did in the three race regatta series. (A blow-by-blow description of the races is being concocted, er, written soon.)

Team Tartan takes the Cup.

Congratulations on winning the cup! Your donations help bring life saving drugs like Gleevac into existence. Gleevac helped save the life of Reagan, the honorary skipper in the regatta pictured with us here. You go Reagan!!

Reagan’s life was saved by research we all sponsor.

Did we party?! Why yes, we did.
