Sail for the Cure 2009
Thank you for joining us at OWSA's 10th annual Sail for the Cure, Sept. 27, 2009! We are still working through final accounting for this year's event, and as soon as we have final numbers, we will post them for all to see and celebrate. Sail for the Cure is the second largest fund-raising event for Susan G. Komen For the Cure in the northwest region. This year¹s festivities brought together more than 550 sailors and 90 sailboats for a family-friendly sail on the Columbia River, followed by a reception, silent auction and live auction at the Portland Yacht Club. Many thanks to everyone who came out to support the fight against breast cancer, and OWSA's mission to empower women sailors through education and experience. This year's Sail for the Cure was an incredible experience for all!

2009 Sail for the Cure a huge success
The Oregon Women's Sailing Association's 10th annual Sail for the Cure was an outrageous success, thanks to the many new and veteran supporters who contributed to, or participated in the event.
With more than 550 sailors and 90 sailboats, the 2009 event was the largest-ever Sail for the Cure.
"I am really thrilled with our turnout this year, and incredibly proud to know so many wonderful people support the fight against breast cancer, and OWSA's relationship with Susan G. Komen For the Cure," said Jeanine Hohn, event chairwoman. "It was an awesome sight to see all those sailboats out on the Columbia."
OWSA volunteers are still working through the final event accounting, and will post final results here on the Sail for the Cure Web site as soon as they are finished.
"We think it will be another great year of fund-raising on behalf of Komen For the Cure," Hohn said. "As soon as we have the information, we'll be sure to post it up so everyone can celebrate their combined contribution.
