What is a Paddle Raiser?
Paddle Raisers don’t just come to the party; they go the extra mile. They are a huge and very important part of the event’s fundraising efforts. Not only do Paddle Raisers help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 (net) for clean water, but also they have a ripple effect of making more and more people aware of the river and the challenges it faces.
Want to join this group of amazing river supporters? Register today by card or check!
What is Paddle-a-thon & Riverfest?
Paddle-a-thon is the biggest fundraising event to celebrate and support the Ipswich River! Funds are raised through corporate sponsors and individuals to keep the river clean and healthy. This massive effort culminates in the Riverfest party on June 15th at the Route 97 Fairgrounds field in Topsfield! Join us at the party to support and celebrate the river.
