The 18 independent regional hospice regattas are allied in a national organization which aims to increase fundraising and publicity for hospice care. The National Hospice Regatta Alliance is a 501(c)(3) organization that facilitates existing and new regional regattas. It raises sponsor money for the National Hospice Regatta Championship, hosts the championship in order to more broadly publicize hospice care, and distributes championship net proceeds to the regional regattas. Hospices help adults and children who are terminally ill, without regard to ability to pay. They also help family members and friends while a loved one is dying, and provide bereavement care after the person has died. Hospice care is a philosophy and service that recognizes death as a part of life. A personalized, medically-directed team program treats and comforts terminally ill patients and their families, at home or in a home-like setting. The medical goals are symptom control and pain management, while psychological and spiritual needs also are individually addressed. Hospice helps everyone involved make the most of the remaining time on their own terms. Hospice regattas parallel hospice care in many ways. Teamwork. Preparation, physical and mental. Risk. Determination. Emotional commitment. Courage and flexibility, facing the unknown. "WE CANNOT DIRECT THE WIND, BUT WE CAN ADJUST THE SAILS."
