This year, James Patrick Muldoon will be servingas the Honorary Chair of the 31st annual Hospice Cup Regatta. The event takes place on Saturday, September 22, 2012, on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis. 

Muldoon is well known on the water as an active member of the international boating community. Captain and owner of the 80-foot yacht, ANDREW 80, he has participated with competitive amateur teams in hundreds of races and has accrued more than 75,000 miles of ocean racing. He has been involved with Hospice Cup for 27 years, serving as live race commentator for several years.

"Jim's contributions to raising funds and awareness of Hospice care has been invaluable in helping our event progress throughout the years," says Brien Jones-Lantzy, Hospice Cup president. "His well-known talent for sailing and passion for philanthropic causes makes him an ideal person to bring the community together help the lives of individuals seeking hospice care."

Hospice Cup funds help to pay the expenses not covered by Medicare or private insurance. These dollars enable the hospices to provide skilled compassionate care, comfort and dignity to the terminally ill, their families and friends, regardless of their ability to pay. Hospice enables patients to carry on alert, pain-controlled lives so their last days may be spent in comfort, at home or in home-like settings. Hospice care concentrates on care, not cure. Bereavement counseling and support groups are part of hospice services after the loss of a loved one.
