The CANACCORD CUP.. A New Tradition !

May Long Weekend, Annual Event, Kelowna Yacht Club, Kelowna, BC
May 21, 22, 23rd, 2010 Friday - Sunday

Our Annual May Long weekend sailing regatta previously known as the Blossom Time Regatta, has been hosted by the Kelowna Yacht Club for 50 years. This sailing regatta season opener is well attended by local Okanagan based skippers and crew, as well as Western Canadian skippers and crew from neighboring provinces. In its 51st year, Blossom Time Regatta is being renamed to the CANACCORD CUP and will become a significant fund raising event for the KYC Youth Sailing & Education program. The Youth and Education program used to receive a grant to fund Instructor wages. due to severe government cut backs this grant is no longer available. Our precious youth Sailing and Education program is in desperate need of new funding. The CANACCORD sponsorship makes it possible to turn an exciting event into a valuable fundraiser.

We are pleased to announce that local CANACCORD Investment Brokers : Kevin Letun, Bruce Dickson, Scott Ritchie, Rick Bekkering, Mark Van Hees and Laurie Bartley have joined forces to donate $6,000 per year to Sponsor the CANACCORD CUP Regatta. This generous donation will be repeated for a minimum of 5 years, with an additional 5 years option to renew. In addition to this generous cash donation, A new CANACCORD trophy will be presented to the overall regatta winner, and displayed year round in the Kelowna Yacht Club.

The CANACCORD Regatta will be organized to attract other sponsors who can benefit from a valuable marketing opportunity through exposure for their goods and services. Sailors will enjoy an opportunity to race for local youth sailors with race fees being added to the funds raised. The more sponsors we can attract the more funds we can raise. We can raise funds for much needed new boats, instructor wages and other costs to continue to provide exceptional local programs open to all youth between the ages of 4 and 18 in our community.
