If you haven’t yet entered in Sunday’s XOJET Leukemia Cup, you still have until Sunday at 10 a.m. to enter. With more than 100 entries already, and over $300,000 raised last year, the Bay Area regatta already holds the record for fund-raising since the nationwide events began in 1993, despite having only begun in 2006. Latitude 38 Associate Publisher John Arndt will be there for the third time.

"I’ve participated in the past two years but this year really want to work harder on fund-raising to contribute to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society," he said. "They’ve made it really easy to contribute by giving us all a fund-raising page allowing you to contribute: any amount is welcome, via credit card on ‘my fund raising page‘."
