Sponsor Form (to keep track of your sponsors)

It is time again for the NC Wildlife Federation Annual Canoe & Kayak-a-thon! Volunteers will paddle a stretch of the Catawba River to raise money for natural resource conservation. This is a 7- mile easy to moderate paddle. The event will be held at Riverbend Steam Station on Mountain Island Lake (Same location as last year). Specific directions and details will be provided to all registered participants. The event will begin @ 8:30am and last through lunch. All participants and volunteers will receive a t-shirt and lunch.  We have also added more prizes and giveaways this year.

Make your own on-line fundraising page at http://www.firstgiving.com/23265

Register before April 29th for a chance at an early bird prize.

Registration deadline is May 27th.

Registration is $50.00 but if you raise $100.00 or more in sponsors then your registration fee is waived.

For every $100 a paddler generates they receive a ticket in the drawings for the prizes.

Please note: If you are interested in paddling but need a boat – Mecklenburg County Natural Resource Division has donated the use of several double kayaks. Numbers are limited so register early & start raising money for wildlife conservation!!!

Remember, all monies raised are tax-deductible and will go to support NC Wildlife Federation’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts. So get registered and go get those sponsors!!
