About The Race
The Ms.
Race is an annual charity sailing regatta hosted by the Atlantic Highlands
Yacht Club each August, to benefit 180 Turning Lives Around. It is a race
sponsored by and for women, with the support of the AHYC race committee.
The Ms. Race was inaugurated in 2005 by a group of female sailors who
regularly participate and crew in the yacht club's Wednesday night race
series. It has experienced increased popularity and presence since its
inception.
Proceeds
from the Ms. Race as well as other related special events throughout the
year are donated to "180", a Monmouth County
N.J. based private,
non-profit organization dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual
assault in our community.
It is the hope and goal of the Ms. Race organization to increase
participation in this year's Ms. Race regatta. Going forward, it is to be
more than just a race, but an event. With that, all woman sailors, their
boats and crews are encouraged and welcome to participate.
