The Pink Boat Regattas have proven an effective and extremely fun fundraiser for sailors to help fight breast cancer. The final tallies aren’t in for this year’s three Pacific Northwest events (Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma) but Jennifer Mathis of the Pink Boat Regatta reports that more than a half million dollars have been raised over seven years, and that Tacoma exceeded their goal of $20,000.
Jan Anderson was on hand in Seattle and Tacoma to catch some of the action – er – costumes and smiles. If you want to plenty more pink, check her Seattle and Tacoma galleries.
