22nd Annual Santa Barbara Yacht Club Charity Regatta

For 22 years, Santa Barbara Yacht Club (SBYC) has proudly hosted the Annual Charity Regatta benefiting VNA Health. Once again, on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, SBYC members, and community friends will come together for a day of racing, camaraderie, and fun in support of VNA Health’s mission to provide meaningful care for all in our community.

On behalf of SBYC Commodore Matt Wilson, Charity Regatta Co-Chair Caroline Baker, and Co-Chair Francie Lufkin we invite you to join us for a beautiful day at Santa Barbara Harbor and have fun while supporting the vital care and services that VNA Health provides to those who need it most.

We are excited to celebrate this year’s Celebrity Skippers — VNA Health’s Home Health Aides (HHAs). This dedicated group of caregivers bridges the gap between clinical and personal care, promoting patient well-being by monitoring clinical conditions and helping manage medications. With comprehensive training in medical and non-medical skills, HHAs provide companionship, comfort, and emotional support to patients and their families, making a meaningful difference every day.

Over the past two decades, our Santa Barbara Yacht Club has raised over $2.8 million to support VNA Health’s care for our community. This generosity has strengthened VNA Health’s ability to help patients maintain dignity, comfort, and quality of life — whether recovering from trauma or spending their final days in the comfort of the place they call home. Together, we can break our goal of $3 million for VNA Health to ensure local families, seniors, and vulnerable neighbors have access to vital healthcare services.

VNA Health is the only medically certified, nonprofit home healthcare and hospice agency in Santa Barbara County committed to a charitable mission. VNA Health has cared for many of our SBYC members, families, and friends, and continues to provide compassionate care and safe harbor for everyone in our community, regardless of financial resources or insurance coverage.

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