PUERTO RICO WOMEN PADDLERS

Paddling for Haiti Fundraiser January 23rd, 2010 (powered by the women's paddle group)
|
On January 23rd, we hosted a fund raiser to help the
earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Our goal was to raise
$1000.00 and send it over. In one week the event took on a life
of it's own, and we ended up raising $10,000.00 in one day, and
the Rotary Club of San Juan matched our funds, for a total of
$20,000.00!!! It was a huge success thanks to the surfing
community of Puerto Rico!
WOMEN'S PADDLE BOARD GROUP
We started a group to get women out on the water and paddling. The group went from 5 original
women to 50! And the list keeps growing. These women are amazing, they all started out as
beginners and now we can't keep them out of the waves! Great energy and great friends!!

This was our second fund raiser held on May 2nd. We were able
to raise almost $10,000 and were able to build 2 houses in the
town of Curico, Chile. Despite the extreme weather, we had a
good turnout and all had fun.
