As you may be aware, each fall the Dana Point Yacht Club stages its Richard Henry Dana Charity Regatta

The Dana Point 5

This assistance includes supplying our Marines deployed to foreign battle zones with care and comfort supplies; providing stateside support to the families of these Marines who are our neighbors and friends; helping pay for memorial sites and other improvements at Camp Pendleton to preserve 5
th Marine Regiment tradition and enhance the quality of life on base; and helping our Marines navigate the sometimes challenging transition from soldiering to civilian life when their military careers are over.
