Cottage Park hosts 32nd Annual Regatta to Benefit Make-A-Wish

Special to the JournalCottage Park Yacht Club’s 32nd annual Regatta to benefit Make-A-Wish provides a chance for sailors of all ages to compete for a good cause and the whole community to contribute to a nonprofit that grants wishes for children suffering serious illnesses. The Summer Soiree starts the Make-A-Wish weekend at CPYC and is open to the community. CPYC has set a goal of raising $100,000 this year, adding to the $1 million it topped last year in its contributions over the years as a Make-A-Wish community partner. The nonprofit’s local chapter honored CPYC with its “Community Hero Award” last year, in recognition of the club’s efforts to help children suffering from cancer, cerebral palsy, leukemia and other serious illnesses.
