A special presentation of the national perpetual trophy will take place at Boatyard Bar & Grill in Annapolis on Thursday, March 8, 2012, from 7-9 pm.
Tilghman’s Jewelers donated this sterling silver trophy in 2003 when the championship’s home was Annapolis. Boatyard Bar & Grill is the trophy’s home between championships, where it sits on display in the Storm Trysail Club Chesapeake trophy case. As part of this special event, Boatyard Bar & Grill will be providing special Hospice Cup drinks in conjunction with their full moon celebration.
“We are so excited to award this special trophy to Cedric and Fredrik. They have demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and enduring support for the annual Hospice Cup event,” says Brien Jones-Lantzy, Hospice Cup President.
Hospice Cup XXXI – America’s largest charity regatta – will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2012 on the Chesapeake Bay. Entering its 31st year of racing, to date Hospice Cup has raised more than $8 million to support hospice programs in local communities around the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. area.
In September 2011, Cedric and Fredrik qualified again to represent Hospice Cup in the Hospice Regattas National Championship on April 20-22, 2012 in St. Petersburg, Florida. For more information visit: www.hospiceregattas.org.
