Sharp HospiceCare’s 21st Annual Benefit Dinner and Regatta brought the San Diego community together in a remarkable display of generosity last month, raising a record-breaking total of nearly $700,000 to support the construction of a new hospice home in Poway.
The two-day event kicked off with a prerace dinner at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, where attendees bid on silent auction items donated by local businesses and individuals. The following day, more than 600 people gathered on San Diego Bay to witness the regatta, a highlight of the summer sailing season.
This year’s regatta holds special significance, with proceeds benefiting Sharp HospiceCare’s Homes for Hospice campaign. The campaign is currently focused on funding the construction of Moore MountainView Hospice Home in Poway, which is scheduled to open in Spring 2025. This new hospice home will join Sharp’s existing residences in La Mesa, Del Cerro and Bonita, providing a comforting environment for patients with life-limiting illnesses.
One of the most notable moments of the weekend was the announcement of two $150,000 donations — one from an anonymous donor — that helped push the fundraising total to a new high. The McMillin family, who have been instrumental in the planning of Moore MountainView, also generously matched every donation.
