Dear Dallas Race Week Sailors,

Registration is Free for the 2nd year, thanks to Lake Pointe Health Network, and registration online is still open. 

Please tell your friends and fellow yacht owners to sign up for this year's Dallas Race Week.

----------------------

Dallas Race Week is being hosted by Chandlers Landing, who is responsible for getting Budweiser to sponsor the event. Thank you! Thank you!

Chandlers Landing Yacht & Tennis Club will make available dinners to those who reserve ahead of time for $15 on Sunday, Thursday, and Friday.  Please contact Susan Gaskill at 972-771-2051 or chandlers_landing@yahoo.com to make reservations before June 8^th, with all the meals paid for by registration on June 15^th to the club.

On Monday Night, “Eat More Chicken” Chick-Fil-A has donated over 200 chicken sandwiches!

On Tuesday Night, we race to Rush Creek Yacht Club, where the RCYC hosted party will be at the Blue Crane.  Thank you to Rush Creek Yacht Club’s Auxiliary Fleet for hosting the party!

On Wednesday Night, we race back across the lake to the Hilton, where Hilton will host the Wednesday Night Sailor and Sponsor party!  As the Presenting Sponsor, the Hilton Bella Harbor has done so much for our sailing community and Rockwall Breakfast Rotary.  The Hilton has lined up “The Ticket” radio station to do an onsite broadcast of Dallas Race Week from the Hilton Bella Harbor.

We look forward to showing our thanks at that party.

***A Transportation Bus will be available on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights to take people back to their vehicles from Chandlers, Rush Creek, and the Hilton.

Friday Night’s party will be the Trophy Presentation, with trophies provided by Home Bank Lending.

HILTON BELLA HARBOR

(ROCKWALL, Texas)  The 27^th Annual Dallas Race Week, held June 15 – 20, at Lake Ray Hubbard, will be presented by the Hilton Bella Harbor, North Texas’ newest luxury resort style hotel, business and conference center. 

Race Week is an annual fundraiser for the Breakfast Rotary Club that draws world- and nationally ranked sailors and more than 50 sailing yachts for the weeklong series of events.  The week kicks off June 15 with a 7 p.m. race that will offer beautiful views from the hotel and from the lake’s boardwalk of the boats at sunset.

The Hilton Bella Harbor will host a VIP party after the point-to-point race (from Rush Creek Yacht Club to the hotel) on Wednesday, June 18.  The hotel will also offer special Race Week packages and sell souvenir Race Week apparel in the hotel gift shop throughout the week.

“We hope Race Week will one day reach the size and stature of the Byron Nelson Golf Classic,” said Event Chairman Billy Self, son of Race Week Founder Scott Self.  “The participation of a premier sponsor like Hilton Bella Harbor, a beautiful hotel to enjoy the spectacle right on our shore, we think we will reach our goal sooner than expected."

DALLAS RACE WEEK PRESENTED BY HILTON BELLA HARBOR

This year’s fundraising goal is to raise more than $100,000 in cash and material donations for community initiatives including purchasing school supplies, eyeglasses and coats for underprivileged children, wheelchairs for people with disabilities who can’t afford them and scholarships for deserving students as well as several international efforts in Mexico and Africa.
