Star Speaker TBA for Leukemia Cup

By Rob Grant | July 10, 2009 | San Francisco Bay |

Pending full approval from organizers, we’ve been asked to remove an announcement posted earlier today concerning a special celebrity slated to speak at this year’s San Francisco Leukemia Cup Regatta (September 19 & 20). 

We can tell you, however, that the event’s planners continue to outdo themselves. Last year — the third year for the event — Tom Perkins brought his magnificent 289-ft Maltese Falcon to the Bay, News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch gave the keynote speech, and more than $662,000 was raised to fight leukemia. You might think that line-up would be tough to follow, but this year’s celeb does just that.

We hope to bring you the full scoop in Monday’s ‘Lectronic. In the meantime you can find complete info on the event, including registration details, at the website, or contact coordinator Caely Cusick directly.
