Paddle for a Cure
THE 5th ANNUAL
Paddle for a Cure
benefiting the Support Connection of Yorktown
sponsored by
The Hudson River
Watertrail Association
Saturday, August 8th, 2015
Join us for a fun-filled day of paddling on the Hudson River while raising money for a great cause. Following the same course as last year, the 9 mile current-assisted course follows the river down a beautiful stretch from 'Long Dock' in Beacon, past historic Bannerman's Island, to finish at Dockside Park in Cold Spring.
Participants will pick up playing cards at specific points along the way, 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 for 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/.

A guaranteed minimum donation of $30 per entry and all raffle proceeds go to the Support Connection.
