Paddle Erie '08
Lagoon Boat Launch, Presque Isle State Park
Come enjoy an exciting poker-paddle on Presque Isle Bay in Erie! Paddlers who fundraise for the March of Dimes beforehand will bring their own (or rent a) canoe or kayak to the Lagoon Boat Launch at Presque Isle State Park on Saturday, August 23, for a fun adventure around Lake Erie's beautiful bay. The 10-mile advanced course begins at 8:00 am, and a 4-mile beginner course will commence at 10:00 am. There will be checkpoints along the way, and everyone is invited back to the Lagoon Boat Launch for lunch!
Every participant is required to raise a minimum of $50 and must pre-register. Participants are also required to wear proper personal floating devices during the paddling event. Playing cards will be distributed and the winning hand will receive a special prize! Incentives will also be rewarded based on the amount each participant raises. Funds raised will benefit programs of research, education, community service and advocacy in the fight to give every baby a healthy start.
This event is proudly sponsored by Classy 100 and Citadel Broadcasting. For more information, contact the Erie March of Dimes office at 814-833-4941.
