Labor Day has come and gone, and we are starting to feel fall in the air. It is hard to believe that just over a month ago, we were down on the docks gearing up for a tremendous Big Game Battle weekend.

As always, thank you to our sponsors, staff, captains and crews, and especially the Nantucket Boat Basin for hosting us. With your support, we were able to raise $165,000 for Home Base.

2018 Charity Contributions

Home Base

We were fortunate to be joined by the Home Base team, and we raised a total of $165,000, which, as both Kurt Power and General Hammond shared, will make a lasting impact on the lives of many veterans and their families. Thank you for all your hard work in making this possible.

A Note of Thanks

The weekend was filled with great memories both on and off the water. Thank you to everyone who made the weekend a huge success. Please share any photos you have so we can include them on the website and slideshow for the 2019 Big Game Battle.

Until next year!
