Who cares about the Pink Boat regatta winner? That’s easy – anyone who cares about researching cures and treatments for breast cancer. That’s the race here. In addition to the wildly silly costumes donned at the three Pink Boat Regattas around the Northwest this year, real money was raised for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Jennifer Mathis of the Pink Boat Regatta shared the good news:
Following-up with you from your original email with how the 2018 Pink Boat Regattas did this year! To sum it up — AMAZING! Here are the breakdowns:
Seattle Regatta raised: $45,188
Tacoma Regatta raised: $29,248
Bellingham Regatta raised: $6,763
While we are still finalizing our total dollar amount that we will be writing our check to “The Breast Cancer Research Foundation”, I wanted to share this exciting news with you. As you may be aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we are still receiving donations. We hope to do our check presentation in New York sometime next month.
