Helping children with special needs at Shoreline Lake on Oct 10th (Sat)

Paddle4Good's free, incluisve, 1/2 day PaddleTogether event will serve 35 children with special needs with your assistance. We’ll help the children SUP, kayak, peddle-boat, play lawn games, & more.

It’s not necessary to have any prior experience to help. Each child is paired with a buddy for the event -- ideal for adults, teens, families, & work groups – it’s a fun & easy way to make a huge difference volunteering. We'll have skilled water teams to safely take the children paddling.

Please register on our site to help us with logistics like t-shirts, coffee, snacks, & lunch. https://paddle4good.org/paddletogether

While the kids we serve have an amazing time building confidence & self-esteem by doing things they may have never thought possible, we also hear from volunteers that the experience had a profound impact on them as well.

The basic schedule as is as follows:

8-9am – event setup & volunteer safety orientations
9-9:30am – participant registration / welcome & safety orientation
10am-12pm – guided water activities (kayaking, SUP, peddle boats) & lawn games
12pm-12:30pm lunch (pizza)
12:30-1pm – awards ceremony & participant goodbye
1pm-1:30pm – event teardown

The last few events have been over just after 1pm, so it could end early depending on how many volunteers we have to help with clean up.

Thanks again for stepping up in your community – we hope to see you on the 4th as well! We'll be at Shoreline hosting the same basic event for another group of amazing children.

All the best,
the Team at Paddle4Good

PS. Finalizing logistics -- but you'll also likely get the opportunity at the event to empower yourself with hands-only CPR through our 5-10 minute Help-a-Heart CPR program.
