The 826LA Paddle Boat Regatta is a virtual “race” in which the amount of funds you raise will determine the distance you paddle!
All proceeds from this event go to 826LA’s Free Writing and Tutoring Programs for Los Angeles children.
The winning fundraising team receives 2 $100 gift cards from Book Soup, the trophy, the title of World’s Best Paddle Boat Racers, the eternal glory of victory, and more! Other prizes include, but are not limited to, gift cards from The Hive hair salon, a totebag with goodies from Unique LA, and gift cards from Masa of Echo Park!
All participants will receive a gift bag with goodies from Filter, Izze, Flora and Fauna Press, GOOD and more!
How to Sign Up:
You can register to boat between now and midnight on July 24. Registration is free, though teams must raise $100 in order to participate in the pageantry on July 26. As soon as the team has signed up, anyone and everyone can come to this website to pledge their support for the team(s) of their choice. Spaces are limited, so register today: https://www.gifttool.com/athon/SignUpMode?ID=168&AID=778
By donating money to the teams, the pledger helps their favorite team win the race. Team members should raise as much money as possible because regatta teams will be ranked by their total funds raised. The team who raises the most money will be declared winner of the “race.”
On July 26, all participating teams will convene at the lake to determine the following winners: Team Spirit, Best Costumes, Best Paddle Boat Maneuver, Best Fundraising Tactics, MVP (Most Valuable Pedaler), and more. The winners of the fundraising race will receive their trophy and other prizes!
