2nd Annual Sail-a-bration

Our second annual Sail-a-bration fundraiser was held at the Echo Lake and Aquarium on May 10th. With over 250 people in attendance and the yacht rock band, The Full Cleveland, the night was full of surprises!

Tim Kavanagh and Candy Weston emceed the event and kept the crowd vacillating between sheer laughter and the tough realities of the trials and tribulations of going through cancer treatment. Several guest speakers told their stories of how Healing Winds gave them the opportunity to create lasting memories for their kids, family and friends.

Healing Winds’ board member, Kathie Weibust, was recognized for her efforts and dedication to HWVT. Kathie is currently going through cancer treatment and has maintained her board position throughout it all!

Aptly named signature cocktails were concocted by Mad River Distilleries and Halyard Brewing Co: Down Below & Buoy Call 🙂 They were quite popular and will surely pop up and upcoming events. We had a successful event, raising over $20k through our online and live auction plus ticket sales and donations.
