AND AUCTION

Program Guide & Auction List
Welcome friends!
Thank you for joining us for our
4th Annual Fall Fundraiser: the
Sailing Heals Jazz Brunch and Auction!
We have again been inspired by each of the 575 VIPs that we hosted this year and
are overwhelmed by the generosity of our Host Captains and donors. Here’s the
vitals on 2015:
575 VIPS Hosted + 155 Host Captains + 36 Days of sailing + 19 Ports involved +
9 States + 3 Rain days! = Great year!
In addition to continued outstanding support from our Founding Sponsor Panerai,
we welcomed a new Corporate Sponsor, Eisai Pharmaceuticals! Eisai employees
volunteered on 7 healing sails this year and we look forward to sharing their “hhc”
philosophy (human health care) on many healing sails in the future.
Special thanks to YOU for being present today and to all of our Auction Donors as
well as the Carlucci and Ollwerther families for their additional support for this
event. More than 80% of our funding comes from private donations just like yours
at events just like this so please bid (or putt!) high—and often—and don’t forget to
take home one of our first-ever custom calendars!
Finally, the board and I would like to thank our wonderful volunteers at this event, the
Greg Vrettos Trio, Hot Pineapple Productions, Larry Prentice who is offering his
professional photography skills and Mark Belliveau for his floral talents.
Let’s sail on together into a great 5th season for Sailing Heals in 2016!

“I wanted to let you know
what a fabulous day we had
w/ Sailing Heals a few weeks
ago. Everyone went above and
beyond to welcome us to the
Eastern YC in Marblehead.…
To top it off it was a pictureperfect day, weatherwise! It felt
so good to be pampered for
a day. Thanks to everyone for
making it a truly healing day for
we caregivers!!”
– Much appreciated, Aurlie

“Our VIP’s and their guests could not
say enough regarding what a wonderful
experience they had. The food was great,
the boat ride was amazing, and the Sailing
Heals staff and boat captains were a joy
to be with. What a wonderful opportunity
it was for some patients who had never
been on a sailboat, let alone on an intimate,
private sail. You certainly fulfilled your
mission of providing a memorable day of
healing on the water. Everything about
the experience was perfect! It was well
organized and allowed small groups of
patients to share a relaxing afternoon in
our beautiful environment that is easily
overlooked when someone is focused on
getting through cancer treatment or dealing
with survivor issues. Our cancer center is
located in an economically depressed area
and many of our patients have financial
struggles that would not allow them to book
a ride on a sailboat. The fact that you offer a
free program is outstanding! Thank you so
much for what you do so well!”
– Susan Domingue LICSW, South Coast
Cancer Center
A partial list
of amazing things
Greg can do.
Amazing because in 2004, Greg
was diagnosed with inoperable
lung cancer and given one year to live.
Nine years later, he’s alive and
well thanks to breakthrough
targeted cancer therapy from the
Mass General Cancer Center.
And now, for Greg and others like
him, every day is an amazing day.
We’re happy to
give a lift to
Sailing Heals’
VIPs!

“Any ordinary favor we do for someone or
any compassionate reaching out may
seem to be going nowhere at first,
but may be planting a seed we can’t
see right now. Sometimes we need
to just do the best we can and
then trust in an unfolding
we can’t design or ordain.”
