Details

Event Type Paddle Description Join us for a fun-filled day of paddling on the Hudson River, while raising money and awareness for a great cause. Our 9-mile current-assisted Poker Paddle route flows down a beautiful stretch of the river – launching from Long Dock in Beacon, past historic Bannerman’s Island and finishing at Dockside Park in Cold Spring for our post-paddle party. Participants pick up playing cards from volunteers at designated points along the way, hoping to produce the best ‘poker’ hand and win a fabulous prize. After the paddle, 
celebrate a fun and rewarding day on the water at our annual post-paddle picnic lunch with beer, wine and a raffle for great prizes. Net proceeds from the paddle and raffle will benefit the Support Connection of Yorktown, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established in 1996 that offers free, confidential support services to people affected by breast and ovarian cancer. http://supportconnection.org/.
