Clinic will take place on the waters off of Long
Beach, CA. The regatta offers six venues facilitating
fleets from PHRF to Sabots and even a predicted

Beach combined with contributing to the neighboring
community.

registration is requested with tax deductible entry
fees of $5 for bay class juniors $15 bay class seniors
and beach cats, $25 ocean class keelboats, ORCA,
cruising class, and PHRF, and $25 for the predicted
log race. Checks should be made payable to The Children's
Clinic. Trophies will be presented during a burger
bash immediately after the close of racing to be
held at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club.
The Children's Clinic of Long Beach is a non-profit
(502)(c)(3), license, community clinic whose mission
is dedicated to providing quality health care, health
education, and health promotion in a culturally
sensitive and linguistically appropriate manner
to medically underserved children and their families
in the cities of the greater Long Beach area. The
Children's Clinic was established in 1939 by a group
of physicians who realized the importance of access
to health care for all children, particularly those
who are low-income and therefore at greater risk
for health problems. In it's 64 year history, The
Children's Clinic has grown from offering weekly
well-child care to a daily, full-service health
care facility.
