Surprise, Osprey, and Firefly represented the S Class in the 16^th Annual Leukemia Cup held on June 5^th at NYYC Harbour Court. The three S boats participated along with five other yachts in Class 9 PHRF. The event and awards dinner was MC’d by Gary Jobson, who noted that he, himself, is fighting lymphoma. Jobson introduced two others of his crew who are fighting leukemia as well. The event raised the incredible amount of over $120,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, including a live auction on Friday night and a silent auction/BBQ dinner on Saturday night. The winning team of the fund raising award raised $10,000. S boat representation in the regatta was a special tribute to the memory of Frank McCaffrey.
