Paddle for a Cure – September 8th 2018
Join us for a fun-filled day paddling on the Hudson River while raising money and awareness for a great cause. Following a scenic new route the 6-mile, current-assisted, course is on a beautiful stretch of the Hudson. Leaving from Dockside Park in Cold Spring, we’ll paddle up to and around historic Bannerman's Island, returning to the start/finish at Dockside Park.
DURING THE PADDLE, participants will pick up playing cards at specific locations along the route, hoping to produce the best 'poker' hand, and win a fabulous prize. After the paddle, celebrate a fun and rewarding day on the water with music, picnic lunch, beer and a raffle with all sorts of prizes.
NET PROCEEDS from the paddle and raffle will benefit the SUPPORT CONNECTION of Yorktown, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established in 1996 that offers free, confidential support services to people affected by breast and ovarian cancer. More information on their services and programs can be found at http://supportconnection.org/.
