23rd Annual Sharp Hospice Care Benefit Dinner and Regatta

The regatta brings together racers, community organizations, and families for a weekend of unique events to support Sharp HospiceCare. Festivities include benefit dinner, live entertainment, dancing, live auction, opportunity drawings, regatta race, spectator boat viewing parties, and a post-race dinner party.

Sharp HospiceCare provides comprehensive end-of-life care and compassionate support to those facing life-threatening illnesses, along with their families and friends. Regardless of the situation or health condition, we are dedicated to helping patients and families with everything from the relief of physical discomfort to emotional and spiritual support. All proceeds will benefit Sharp HospiceCare, helping to ensure that the hospice homes, special programs and support services are here for patients and families when needed most.
