The West Marine Challenged America Regatta is an annual event benefiting the charitable Challenged America program for children and adults with disabilities, a therapeutic adaptive sailing program conceived in 1978 by disabled San Diego veterans.
Hundreds participate in this free, volunteer-driven sailing program each year. Funds from the West Marine Challenged America Regatta go directly towards maintaining the program’s fleet of 12 specially built or modified vessels, providing free learn-to-sail and advanced sailing opportunities for those hospitalized, in therapeutic recovery or rehabilitation programs, for children and adults living with disabilities, civilians and veterans, along with loved ones in the community.
The dinner will be at the Bali Hai restaurant, on Shelter Island, Steve Cushman will be the keynote speaker and the music will be performed by the Steel Monarchs (Steel drum band from the Monarch school for homeless and at risk students)
