The SILENT & LIVE AUCTION will be a fabulous evening at The Cleveland Yachting Club on Thursday July 17th where we will help raise money to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Northern Ohio in their efforts to provide support to patients and their families, offer educational opportunities, and continue to fund new and life changing research in the field of blood cancers.

This is an exciting new direction as the Leukemia Cup Regatta's usual Friday night auction is now THURSDAY, July 17th at 6:30pm, the dress went from shorts to cocktail attire, the food is now being fabulously prepared by the chefs at the CYC, and drinks will be in glasses instead of plastic cups! It may not look the same, but it will still be an exciting and fun night full of friends, live music, great food and exciting bidding. Tickets are $40 each and can be obtained by calling The Cleveland Yachting Club at 440-333-1155. RESERVATIONS NEED TO BE MADE BY MONDAY JULY 14TH AT 5PM. They can be purchased using cash, personal checks, credit card-MC,VISA and Am Ex or by CYC chits. Please join us in our commitment to help eradicate leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's, myeloma and other blood cancers by coming to the Silent & Live Auction as we begin the 15th Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta!

The online Auction will close at 9pm on July 13th, but the bidding will not end! We will continue to bid on these items during the silent auction portion of this event, and there will be more than 50 SURPRISE items added that will not be shown on the online website!  The evening will conclude with the fast paced bidding of the LIVE ONLY items on stage at The Cleveland Yachting Club. If you are not able to attend the event, but want to continue bidding on the items donated to the online portion of the auction, you may decide to become an "absentee bidder". You can sign up on the web and list your bid limit. The auction committee will bid for you, up to your limit, and if you win, the item will be shipped to you. Sorry, this does not apply to the LIVE ONLY items. 

For any questions about any part of the auction, or about a particular item, please call Mary Stillman at 440-554-2430 or email her at meri0303@sbcglobal.net. For more information about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Northern Ohio, please go to www.lls.org/noh.

It is truly heart warming to see how people and companies have so generously donated such wonderful auction items and given financial support as sponsors for the 15th Leukemia Cup Regatta and Auction. We have added more items to the online catalog and more are coming in all the time! Wonderful SILENT and LIVE auction items include Lake Erie Cruises, new sports tickets from the Browns and Cavs, a personally created dinner by Sweet Melissa's, art, wine, photography and private parties at unique places!

We must however, mention one in particular. VITA-MIX, a long standing local company that makes state of the art blending equipment, has not just donated one machine but FIVE for a value of more than $3500! Two blenders are available for bids on the online auction and then at the silent auction. The Regatta will use three of them to assist with the creations of specialty drinks during the weekend, then will be donated by VITA-MIX to three different people that suffer from some form of blood cancer in the Northern Ohio area. Because chemotherapy and the symptoms of cancer can make nutrition difficult to maintain, these machines can make it easier to absorb the needed foods, to help them regain strength and improve their chances of overcoming these devastating diseases. During the Sunday Awards program, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will accept these machines from VITA-MIX on behalf of the recipients.

"Refer a Friend" by clicking on the icon and tell everyone you know about the Leukemia Cup Regatta and Auction.  The more we get to join in the bidding, the more money we can raise to help people that suffer from these terrible cancers.  

If you have an item or service to donate, please click on the "Donate an Item" icon. You will need to answer a few questions, then a member from the auction committee will contact you to discuss your donation.

                                            PLEASE BID GENEROUSLY, YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
