Alexandria Bay Community Betterment Weekend 2023

22nd Annual Paddle For Betterment

PADDLE IN PARADISE THIS SUMMER!
The 1000 Islands’ 22nd Annual “River Tradition” is here!

At The Foundation for Community Betterment, we share your love for adventure in the great outdoors, your spirit for giving back to the community, your desire to create and nurture great friendships and your passion for living the best life possible on the St. Lawrence River!

That's why you're invited to experience the "Beauty of Betterment" in the spectacular Thousand Islands Region on Saturday, July 22nd. You, your friends, and family can join others from near and far in "Paddler's Paradise" for a morning of fun in Alexandria Bay - all for the purpose of Community Betterment.

Known as the "Heart of the 1000 Islands", you'll travel along our incredible shoreline in your kayak, canoe, skiff or stand-up paddle board to collect cards to be played in your poker hand. Amazing GRAND PRIZES are awarded to Adults and Youth (17 and under) Divisions, with best hands for 1st , 2nd and 3rd place! All paddlers are eligible to win valuable door prizes from area businesses.

An awards ceremony - complete with recipient acknowledgements, music and breakfast immediately follows at Scenic View Park Pavilion. Spectators welcome (breakfast not included).

All proceeds benefit area organizations and individuals in need.
HELP BREAK THE RECORD OF 250 PADDLERS THIS YEAR!
