Premiums & Prize Drawings

As you raise your pledges, keep an eye on this page for great items that are available at various pledge total levels. New items are added as new companies and individuals become event sponsors, and the more you raise, the higher the value of the premiums for which you are eligible.

You may claim one premium from each of the four Premium Categories based on the amount you have raised. Premiums are offered as long as supplies last, which is a good incentive to do your fundraising early!

PLEASE NOTE: We need to have actually received your eligible pledges before you can claim a premium. Pledges through personal fundraising pages qualify soon after they are made, but if you have pledges you have collected in person, you need to send them in before claiming any premiums.

More Paddler Premiums will be added as we get closer to the event!

Keep an eye on this page to find new paddler premiums as they become available. Premiums are awarded on a first-earned, first-requested basis.

IMPORTANT: We will need to verify that you have registered for the event and that your eligible pledges have been received before we can reserve your chosen premium for you. It is very important that you get the pledges in to us before you make a premium request.

To Collect Your Premiums

You should keep track of your total pledges. When you reach a total that makes you eligible for premiums (and any collected in person have been sent to us), please contact us through the form below.

Tickets and gift certificates will be mailed out to those paddlers who claim them. Larger items are available for pick-up. We will contact you to arrange a good time for you to pick up these larger items as they are awarded.
