People Paddle was created in 2006 by a bunch of kayaking fanatics and experienced volunteer event managers to be a sustainable, portable kayak-borne fundraiser, flexible enough to raise money for any cause, appealing enough to be adopted by any kayak outfitter as a proven fundraiser.
April 15, 2007 ushered in their second year, their next People Paddle is launched as "People Paddle for AIDS". Hosted by their partner Healing Waters, with gear provided by City Kayak, featured 117 kayakers, partnering with at least 20 AIDS Service Organizations, all of whom will be recruiting paddlers to raise money for their cause.
Now in their third year, their biggest People Paddle yet is launched as "People Paddle for AIDS". Again hosted by partner Healing Waters, with gear provided by City Kayak and several other outfitters, partnering with up to 30 AIDS Service Organizations, and adding a big after-party/festival on South Beach Harbor Park (next to AT&T Park.) Join up to 200 kayakers and outrigger canoeists on San Francisco's biggest and most colorful paddlecraft fundraiser ever.
A fourth People Paddle in conjunction with AquanFest on June 14/15 in Foster City, California. Dubbed "People Paddle for the Planet" they will recruit 100+ paddlers to raise pledges for dozens of Northern California environmental causes. For more information visit www.peoplepaddle.com
