2018 USS Constellation Cup Challenge

OCTOBER 13, 2018

What is the USS Constellation Cup Fundraising Challenge? 

The USS Constellation Cup is a fun, friendly sailboat regatta in support of the restoration and education programs at Historic Ships in Baltimore. The Challenge is a fundraising component of the Cup where boats compete to win the George Colligan Memorial Trophy while earning free tickets to the post-race Deck Party. The Challenge winner is determined by a combination of the funds raised by your supporters and your finishing position in the race. Individual fundraisers will receive 2 Pier Party Tickets for raising $150 and 1 additional ticket for each $100 raised thereafter.
