Calvert Hospice, Prince Frederick Rotary, Hospice of St. Mary’s and the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation are hosting Summer Challenge, a weekend sailing event, August 28 and 29. A “Fun Cruise,” small and big boat racing and a Shore Party will take place on Saturday with team racing taking place on Sunday. All events on Saturday begin and end at Zahniser’s Yachting Center with check-in for cruisers starting at 11 a.m. and check-in for racers starting at 12 p.m. Check-in for team racing on Sunday is at 9 a.m. at the Sailing Center Chesapeake on St. Inigoes Creek.
The Summer Challenge event was established in 2007 when Stovy Brown, who is involved in both the Rotary and the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation, was looking for an opportunity to hold a local sailing event to raise funds benefiting the local community. Proceeds benefit Calvert Hospice, Prince Frederick Rotary, Hospice of St. Mary’s and the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation.
This is a wonderful event for competitive sailors or those just looking to have fun. So, get some friends together to cruise the Patuxent, gather your crew for some racing or get some friends together to team up on Sunday. Visit www.somdsummerchallenge.org for further information and registration forms. Sponsorship is still available. Your participation will directly impact the local community, supporting the youth and those in need of care and comfort.
