Donate
Part of Paddle for Life’s mission is to raise money for local charities. To help generate enthusiasm and in the spirit of competition Paddle for Life has created the Fundraising Competition!
Race registration fees pay for the racing and the event, but leaves little money left over for the beneficiaries. In order to maximize the charitable contribution we are including a pledge contest. We ask every team and every participant to help raise an additional $1,000 per team. That is the equivalent of about $100 per paddler. It is very simple. Talk with your friends, family and co-workers and ask them to donate $20 to $50 each. The gift is tax deductible and stays in the community to help people in need. We will be recognizing the team that raises the most money with the coveted “ULTIMATE TEAM TENT” for the following year. We will also have a special prize for the top three individual fund raisers. Teams and individuals may enter their donation through 4PM the day of the event.
