About Hospice Cup
Funds raised on behalf of the
Hospice Cup regatta help to pay the expenses not covered by Medicare or
private insurance. These dollars enable the hospices to provide skilled
compassionate care, comfort and dignity to the terminally ill, their
families and friends, regardless of their ability to pay. Hospice enables
patients to carry on alert, pain-controlled lives so their last days may be
spent in comfort, at home or in home-like settings. Hospice care
concentrates on care, not cure. Bereavement counseling and support groups
are part of hospice services after the loss of a loved one.
The 2009 participating hospices currently include:
Capital Hospice, Calvert
Hospice,
Hospice of the Chesapeake,
The Talbot Hospice Foundation and Montgomery Hospice.
Each hospice must meet the standards of the National Hospice and Palliative
Care Organization.
The annual Hospice Cup race is a cooperative effort, organized by the
all-volunteer Hospice Cup, Inc. (HCI) Board of Directors, an Executive
Director, participating area hospices and hundreds of volunteers. The race
is managed by Shearwater Sailing Club and assisted by Storm Trysail Club
Chesapeake Station. Hospice Cup, Inc. is a proud member of the National
Hospice Regatta Alliance,

Additional information about the event can be found online at the official
Hospice Cup web site www.hospicecup.org.
