J/30 ZEPHYR Top Leukemia Fund Raiser!
(New Orleans, LA)-
The J/30 ZEPHYR team, lead by her owner/skipper Mike Erwin,
participated in the recent Leukemia Lymphoma Society fundraiser held at
Southern YC. Amazingly, the family and friends team were able to
become recognized as the single largest fund-raiser for LLS this year to
date- a total of $127,000 was committed by their donors! Here is a
photo of Emily Faschan and Mitchell Erwin at the Southern
YC and on their J/30 on Lake Ponchartrain. Watch this YouTube sailing
video for some entertainment- the Erwin’s certainly like to have fun and
make sure their crew enjoy sailing as much as they do! Watch their fun-loving sailing video of their escapades over the weekend here
