The athletes at RCKC would like your support with the Paddle-A-Thon to raise funds for canoe and kayak transporation. It will be with a 10km relay race – no officials – no timing – just fun!!!

Proceeds of the fundraising will go towards renting a truck and expenses to tow a trailer holding canoes and kayaks for out of town races. These funds are much needed and will benefit the entire club!

To donate, you can contribute to a member of RCKC or go online at http://www.bcpaddleathon.ca/rckc. Charitable Tax receipts will be given.
