"It's all about the kids:" One of the largest fundraising regattas in nation took place in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- It started in the late 1990s  by a group of sailors who wanted to get in one last sail before putting their boats away for the winter. Now, it's one of the largest fundraising regattas in the nation and it's happening right here in Milwaukee.

Louie's 18th Last Regatta attracts hundreds of boats and thousands of sailors every year. They come from all over Lake Michigan -- Chicago, Muskegon, Michigan, Sheboygan and Sturgeon Bay. Each one of them sets sail in hopes of having fun raising money for some very special children.
