How Support Strokes Works

The 2003 Support Strokes paddlers will launch from the dock at California Canoe & Kayak and travel around Alameda Island. Check in time is 8:00am, we will try to have everyone on the water by 9:00am. Total paddle time may range from 3 - 6 hours for you to complete the course.

Approximately halfway around the island, at Crown Beach, we will have refreshments available. This is a good place for family and friends to meet you to cheer you on. We will also have a trailer available there for anyone who would prefer to paddle the short course (7.5 miles).

Collecting Pledges
Each participant is asked to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges. Please collect the money before the paddle and turn it in the day of the event. All checks should be payable to The Breast Cancer Fund as all proceeds from this event will go directly to them. Anyone Collecting over $500 gets a free boat rental that day.

Please ask your friends, family, co-workers and local businesses to support your commitment to complete this paddle. You may want to ask for a flat amount, or a pledge per mile. Pledge Ssheets are available from CCK or you are welcome to use your own.
