July 8, 2011
On behalf of Niagara Hospice, I would like to thank everyone who supported the 2010 Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta! The Niagara River Cruise & Clambake took place at the Youngstown Yacht Club on Friday, July 9, 2010 and the Regatta was held on Saturday, July 10, 2010. Together, with your support, we were able to raise $23,000, bringing our 11-year total to $232,000!
The proceeds from the Regatta provide revenue for Niagara Hospice to use in their work with individuals and families dealing with end-of-life illnesses. Since 1988, Niagara Hospice has served over 13,000 Niagara County residents and their families. No individual is denied Hospice care regardless of his or her ability to pay. Families who are uninsured or underinsured can take comfort in the fact that Hospice services are available to them.
The 2011 Niagara River Cruise will take place on Friday, July 8th and is open to the public. Boarding passes will be available by March of 2011 and can be accessed by selecting the "Niagara River Cruise" link on the left side of the page. For those skippers interested in racing in the Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta scheduled for Saturday, July 9th. Race registration forms will be available by early May.
On behalf of all the patients and families that Hospice serves, I would like to thank you in advance for your participation and support!
Paul R. Beatty Jr.,
Chairman
