All Out Adventures is hosting the 14th Annual Kayak-a-thon on Sunday, September 11! Our team, Joyce Samet, Michael Byrne, Elizabeth Verling and Elena Laswick, will be paddling 5 miles from Hatfield to Northampton on the Connecticut River to help raise funds and awareness for AOA's programs. In a typical year, All Out Adventures hosts 180 inclusive outdoor recreation programs for people with disabilities, seniors, and veterans throughout Massachusetts. Your support will help our team to support the continued availability of low or no cost inclusive outdoor recreation programs for people of all ages and all abilities. Michael, together with Joyce, have participated in these programs, and they are wonderful. It is truly amazing to see people of all abilities bicycling and kayaking and enjoying the outdoors. We hope you will help us in our fundraising effort, any contribution will be most appreciated. Thank you!
The Kayak-a-thon is a fully inclusive, community-building event that will raise funds and awareness for free or low cost inclusive outdoor recreation programs. Each year, All Out Adventures runs approximately 180 outdoor recreation programs for seniors, veterans, and people who have disabilities and their loved ones. Our 100-person flotilla will kayak down the Connecticut River from Sunderland, MA to Hatfield, MA to Northampton, MA. Learn more here: https://alloutadventures.org/kayak-a-thon/
This year's $50,000 goal will support our current slate of programs.
However, this summer, most of our programs have waiting lists, and we are spending hours each week looking through our sign-ups to figure out how we can accommodate as many people as possible. If we smash our $50,000 goal, our top priority will be to add days and timeslots to better accommodate the demand for our program. Your support will be deeply meaningful to our programs and our participants. Thank you!
