We are grateful to honor this year’s Celebrity Skippers—VNA Health’s dedicated Home Health Aides (HHAs). These exceptional caregivers bridge the gap between clinical and personal care, supporting the patients’ well-being by monitoring health conditions, assisting with medication management, and supporting daily living needs. With specialized training in both medical and non-medical care, HHAs provide comfort, companionship, and emotional support to patients and their families, making a meaningful difference every day.

Our deepest gratitude to our gracious and generous captains, hosts, and owners of the Charity Regatta Spectator Boats for the priceless memories to last a lifetime.
Thank you for all the unique opportunities to enjoy the boat races and time on the seas.
