What is the Leukemia Cup Photo Flotilla?
The Leukemia Cup Photo Flotilla is a fun-filled photo scavenger hunt for boaters. The Photo Flotilla will be held on June 9th, 2012 at Elliott Bay Marina in association with the Leukemia Cup Regatta.
Each boat will receive a list of photos to take, each of which will be assigned a point value. Detailed instructions, the photo list and a map will be handed out at the Skipper’s Meeting at 11:30 am on June 9th. Boats must return to Elliott Bay Marina by 3:00pm and turn their photos in to the Committee to be scored. Don’t forget to bring your camera’s cord so photos can be downloaded to a laptop computer!
For every five points earned, you will receive one entry ticket into the prize drawing. The more photos you take, the better chance you have of winning!
Prizes include a $100 fuel gift certificate at the Elliott Bay Marina fuel dock, a Splash 'N Detail gift certificate, and a case of Trinchero wine. Great prizes are also awarded to top fundraisers!
