GLOVERSVILLE — Mountain Valley Hospice and the Mayfield Yacht Club will hold their annual Charity Cup Regatta for Hospice on July 27, on Great Sacandaga Lake.
The regatta encompasses three events and is part of the National Hospice Regatta Alliance, now in its 20th year raising $25 million for hospices all over the country. The events on the Sacandaga benefit the programs and services of MVH and the Nancy Dowd Hospice Home.
