About Our Auction

Raise more than a sail! Join AYC in raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Help us save lives by supporting LLS’s ground-breaking research to find cures for blood cancers. It’s what sailors do.

This auction raises money to fund our annual Birthday Regatta and raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Leukemia Cup is AYC’s annual charitable fundraising campaign to support the life-saving work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). It leads up to, and runs concurrently with, our on-the-water sailboat race - The Birthday Regatta. Of the approximately 1300 US yacht clubs, AYC is honored to be part of an elite group of just 45 clubs that annually sponsor a Leukemia Cup fundraiser. The nation’s first Leukemia Cup was held over 32-years ago, and today Leukemia Cups remain a popular charitable activity in sailing circles, providing one of the six main revenue sources for LLS. AYC has been a Leukemia Cup host for 19-years and has donated over $700,000 to fight blood cancer.

About Arizona Yacht Club

The Arizona Yacht Club has been sailing in the desert since 1958. AYC sails keelboats at Lake Pleasant, and dinghies on Tempe Town Lake. Most of our sailing is racing, with one-design and PHRF / Portsmouth series happening on both lakes in the spring and fall. The only thing busier than our sailing schedule is our social schedule - there are events happening year-round. AYC also promotes the sport of sailing through our 503 (c) non-profit organization, the Arizona Sailing Fountain, which provides sailing lessons for adults and kids.
