9/11 Paddle for Men's Mental Health
About this Event
Join Us for the 9/11 Paddle for Men's Mental Health!
Get ready to paddle your way to awareness! This in-person event is all about supporting men's mental health while honoring the spirit of 9/11. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just want to show your support, come out and make a difference. It's a great chance to connect, reflect, and paddle together for a cause that matters. Don’t miss out – let's paddle for a purpose!
Join us for the 9/11 Paddle Fundraiser!
Pledge $100 and sign up to paddle 11 miles with us as we aim to raise $11,000 for mental health awareness and deliver vital resources to those who need them most.
- Equipment: Paddleboards and kayaks are both welcome! Don't have your own? No problem—we’ll provide one for you.
- Fundraising Goal: Your $100 registration fee gets you started, but we challenge each paddler to reach a total goal of $250 by event day. Once registered, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how family and friends can donate directly to your paddle.
Cheer from Shore!
Not paddling? Come out and support those on the water! This is a family-friendly event featuring great food, exciting prizes, raffles, and lots of good company. Bring your friends and family to help us cheer on our paddlers as they cross the finish line.
Support the Cause
You can also support our mission by clicking the "Make a Donation" link at the top of the page. Beyond one-time gifts, we offer sponsorship tiers that directly fund retreat tuition for our first responders and veterans.
Thank you for stepping up—we can’t wait to see you on September 11th!
