The 2019 Flip Flop Regatta was a smashing success! We had outstanding weather, almost 50 boats on the race course, and an epic party afterwards. To top all that off, together we raised more than twice the amount vs. last year, all proceeds going to the programs that do so much for Boston’s kids. A big shout out to everyone who worked hard to make it such a great day - our volunteers, Courageous staff, and Race Committee.
