Santa Barbara Yacht Club (SBYC) is pleased to announce the 21st Annual Charity Regatta on Saturday, September 13, 2025, benefiting VNA Health. For over 20 years, SBYC and our community friends come together to do two things at this important event: to race, and to support VNA Health’s mission of “caring for our community with compassion and integrity.” For over two decades SBYC has held the Charity Regatta, successfully raising over $2.6 million to support VNA Health, and its invaluable healthcare services for our community.

We hope you will join us for a beautiful day at Santa Barbara Harbor and have fun while supporting the charitable community services and programs of VNA Health

We are grateful to our Charity Regatta Co-Chairs for 2026, Sarah Berkus Gower and Robyn Parker, and to the SBYC Commodore, Jeff Berkus.

We are excited to celebrate this year’s Celebrity Skippers – VNA Health’s Serenity House & Loan Closet Volunteers, who are generous with their time and care, and help to ensure that together we can help our community more than any one person or organization could accomplish alone.

VNA Health Foundation raises funds to sustain charitable community programs and services that enhance patient care such as the Loan Closet, Music Services, Pet Therapy, and Bereavement Care. Committed to ensuring access to care for all patients and their families, VNA Health Foundation also provides subsidized charity care throughout all clinical services, including in-patient hospice care at Serenity House. As a non-profit organization, VNA Health Foundation is solely dependent on support from the community, and this support increases the ability for patients to maintain dignity, comfort, and quality of life, whether rehabilitating from a injury or illness or living their final days at home, regardless of adequate insurance or resources.

VNA Health is Santa Barbara County’s leading, and only nonprofit, comprehensive provider of home health care, palliative care, and hospice care.

We are extremely grateful for your support and want to ensure you get maximum recognition for your generosity. Please indicate your donation by MONDAY, JULY 28 to be included in printed Charity Regatta promotions.

Your donation helps VNA Health to provide care to our community at any stage in life, regardless of inadequate insurance or resources
