Leukemia Cup Early Registration Deadline

LEUKEMIA CUP EARLY REGISTRATION
DEADLINE APPROACHES
All sailors are reminded that early-bird registration for the 14th Annual Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta to be held in Deltaville over the weekend of July 6 - 8 closes on June 15. After this date, the registration fee increases by $25 and regrettably the names of participating yachts cannot be included on the commemorative Regatta T-shirt. It's easy to register, and it's all online at www.leukemiacup.org/va.
The sensational news this year is that the Southern Bay Leukemia Cup Regatta has been voted Best Regatta on the Bay by the readers of "Chesapeake Bay Magazine." We invite everyone to come and experience two days of racing at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club and two nights of exciting activities at Stingray Point Marina which includes an appearance by sailing celebrity Gary Jobson, silent and live auctions, food and refreshments, and musical entertainment.
All the details can be found online.
While the Regatta is CBYRA sanctioned, it is important to note that an official PHRF rating is only required to race in the Offshore Divisions. Our largest racing contingent is the Cruising Division where other offshore sailboats, even those skippered by novices, are assigned a competitive rating by our team of experienced handicappers and can participate in a lower key racing format which the whole family can enjoy.
All proceeds from Regatta events, a portion of which may be tax deductible, assist the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in its mission: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. For more information on The Leukemia Cup Regatta activities, contact Debbie Bridwell, Senior Campaign Manager, 804-673-5690 or Debbie.Bridwell@lls.org or visit www.leukemiacup.org/va.
Leukemia Cup Experiences an Active Weekend in Deltaville
Jon Deutsch on Tuesday July 12, 2011 04:32PM (2 comments)
The 13th Annual Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta held in Deltaville over the weekend of July 8-10 was another huge success with 77 registered yachts and enthusiastic crowds at the Auction and Gala helping to raise $112,000 in cash and $20,000 in kind donations, based on preliminary numbers, to support patients with blood cancers.
Typically the Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta is one of the most financially successful Leukemia Cup Regattas in the country in spite of being one of the smallest of such national venues. And tornado ravaged Deltaville rose to the occasion and disappointed neither participants nor organizers this year.
Leukemia Cup Reduced Registration Date Extended
Mary R. Spencer on Wednesday June 29, 2011 08:49PM (1 comment)
Reduced Registration Fee for the 13th Annual Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta, July 8 - 10, in Deltaville has been extended due to difficulties with processing registrations on the Leukemia Cup website. Now those who were unable to register by June 17 will be able to register at the lower entry fee of $125 either on line at www.leukemiacup.org/va or in person until registration closes on Friday evening, July 8, before the Auction & Crabcake Dinner at Stingray Point Marina.
Don't miss out on all the fun over Leukemia Cup weekend...almost 70 yachts so far have registered to participate in the Regatta. Thanks for supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its effort to help patients with blood cancers.

Wavelength Top Fundraiser!!
R. Strother Scott on Monday July 12, 2010 08:44AM (1 comment)
At the Gala dinner at Stingray Point Marina on Saturday, Leukemia Cup Regatta Co-Chairs Judy Buis and Carolyn Schmalenberger announced that Rob Whittet and Wavelength was the top fund-raising boat! He has raised 89% on his web site, but with late donations at the event and Friday night auction, his total was over $11,000.
Congratulations to Rob, seen pictured in the back row in sunglasses and a blue shirt.
Another One of Our Own
R. Strother Scott on Friday July 9, 2010 11:07AM
It may not be fair to promote one Leukemia Cup competitor fundraising efforts over another on the FBYC website, but life is also not always fair. Particularly to those close to us - like Rob Whittet, skipper of Wavelength. Please visit
his Leukemia Cup fundraising site where you can read his story, which includes the following quote:
This year, I registered as I always have, but things changed suddenly and drastically for me on June 9th following routine blood work. A life-threatening platelet level sent me straight to the hospital, where for over two weeks I underwent an escalating series of tests and treatments that finally culminated in surgery, biopsies, and confirmation of an earlier suspicion: Ive got lymphoma.
So, this year's race takes on a startling new significance for me. Not only will my boat (and I hope me) be a sailing participant again, but I now join thousands of others afflicted with this disease....
At the bottom of his Leukemia Cup fundraising site, you can contribute to Wavelength's goal of $10,000 and help raise it up from the current 48% of goal.Leukemia Cup Early Registration to End Soon

Championship Sailor to Exhibit at Art on Fishing Bay, June 4
Joseph L. Dennison on Tuesday May 25, 2010 01:22PM
.jpg/?display=small)
Art on Fishing Bay will have an international flavor this year with the inclusion of Joanna Tyka, an accomplished artist as well as a sailing champion. A native of Poland, she earned a masters degree with honors from the countrys Academy of Fine Arts in 1978. She has worked in design, graphics, tapestry, while continuously refining her painting techniques. Besides Poland, she has practiced her profession in Germany, Spain, Miami, and now Virginia.
The recipient of many international and national art awards, Joannas unique style has allowed her to maintain thriving relationships with fine art societies and galleries in the both the U.S. and Europe. Additionally she has shared her love of art as an instructor in Germany and Miami. Unfortunately space does not permit a full disclosure of all of Joannas accomplishments listed on her impressive résumé.
On top of it all, she is also a championship sailor. Her love affair with sailing began in Poland as a youth, first in a Cadet, then an OK Dinghy, and finally the physically challenging Olympic-class single-handed Finn dinghy in which she was a national champion multiple times. Later she joined the racing circuit on offshore vessels in Germany, Brittany, Mallorca, and, for 20 years, in Miami. Now she enjoys cruising the Rappahannock River but is still eager to land a crew position on boats racing in the Chesapeake area.

Leukemia Regatta again wins National Award
Judy Buis on Thursday November 3, 2005 07:51AM
I was honored to be asked to speak at the conference as to the success of our regatta. They were all curious as to how a small yacht club in a very small town could be so successful. By the end of my presentation they all knew our success was do to the dedication of my great committee and the continued support and generosity of FBYC. I cannot thank you enough for this support. FBYC has made a great impact in working toward the LLS ultimate goal, to cure all blood related cancers. The survivors thank you for giving them the opportunity to be here today. The researchers thank you for giving them the opportunity to work on vital research that hopefully will cure all blood cancers.
I ended my presentation by saying "TO LOOK OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AND KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE OF THE WORK WE DO IS REASON ENOUGH TO WORK HARDER." I know FBYC will be willing to do just that. Thank you again.

Gary Jobson to Talk About Sailing at U of R
Unknown Unknown on Friday February 25, 2005 04:16PM
Richmond, Va Feb. 24, 2005 World class sailor and television commentator Gary Jobson will share his passion for competitive sailing at a lecture on March 25 at the University of Richmond. His talk will stir up interest in another Jobson passion this summers Leukemia Cup Regatta at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville.
Jobson helped win the Americas Cup in 1977 as tactician for Ted Turner. He has written 14 books on sailing, is an editor at large for two sailing magazines, serves as ESPNs sailing analyst and producer, and promotes the sport through his company, Jobson Sailing, Inc.
His stature in sailing is such that in 2003 Jobson was inducted into the Americas Cup Hall of Fame. But he is equally proud of serving since 1994 as Honorary Chairman of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Societys annual Leukemia Cup Regatta, which has grown from one to 45 events throughout the country. Last year he helped the Virginia Chapters regatta at Fishing Bay raise more than $188,000 for research and treatment.
Leukemia Cup Regatta wins National Award
Judy Buis on Tuesday November 16, 2004 10:41AM
I was fortunate enough to be attending this conference and accept this award. There are 47 Regattas around the country. The Regattas are put in six regions, and the best Regatta in each region gets the award. We were competing with some very LARGE Yacht clubs!!!
Our regatta grossed $188,000 last year. An amazing amount for a small town and yacht club on the Chesapeake Bay!!!
I was constantly asked at the conference how a small yacht club and town, managed to raise such an impressive amoumt. My answer was easy, I had a great committee and belong to the BEST yacht club in the country, that it is because of their support we are so successful.
You as members should be VERY proud of FBYC's continued support of this event. The money we raise goes toward the Society's mission to cure all Blood related Cancers and provide support for family members that are affected by these diseases.
We are truly making a difference!!! I speak for all survivors in thanking you for your generosity and support.

Richmond Times Dispatch recognizes the Leukemia Cup Regatta
R. Strother Scott on Tuesday July 15, 2003 10:44AM
Great article about the Leukemia Cup in "Copyright Richmond Times-Dispatch, used with permission."
The first sailing lesson came before we even stepped off the dock.
"You have to have a sense of humor to sail," said Willard Strickland, a sailor with a sense of humor. "If you don't, you're going to have a miserable life because so many things can go wrong."
The second lesson became evident soon enough: While just about any reason to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay is a good one, occasionally reasons emerge that are particularly decent, compelling and noble. Reasons such as 4-year-old Katie, 7-year-old Hannah and 11-year-old Blake.

Gary Jobson is a household name in racing sailors'
homes. We all know who he is. Our man in New Zealand for the
America's Cup. Mr. ESPN of our sport. He often comes into the
southern Chesapeake Bay to offer his name and presence to boost a worthwhile
cause or just to share his thoughts with racers about the current state
of our sport. He has for the last 11 years given a huge portion of
his energy on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Cup Regatta.
This morning Gary Jobson began chemo treatments for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
