Sharp HospiceCare held its 20th annual Benefit Regatta on Aug. 26 at the Coronado Yacht Club. The event was preceded Aug. 25 by the Benefit Dinner at the Hotel Del Coronado. Both events drew 600 guests each.
The events raised $350,000, with proceeds benefiting the fourth residential hospice home for Sharp HospiceCare, called Moore MountainView Hospice House in Poway.
The regatta was hosted by Sharp HospiceCare, Coronado Yacht Club and Cortez Racing Association. The regatta featured 51 sailboat racers. George Scheel won with his boat Sun Puffin.
To date, Sharp HospiceCare fundraisers have led to the completion of three homes in La Mesa, Del Cerro and Bonita. Moore MountainView will be the fourth.
