FUNDRAISING WITH THE PADDLE-A-THON
Once you register for Paddle to the Sea, a personal fund-raising page is automatically created for you. You then can choose to customize your page if you like. You can add your own pictures and text or you can use the sample page that we have provided. Then you simply email the link of your personal web page to your friends and family and ask them to sponsor you. Your sponsors will be able to make a secure donation in your name right from your page. All paddlers must raise a minimum of $60. You can of course opt to sponsor yourself. However, we recommend reaching out to your friends and family as it helps to build up the grassroots support for the Tuolumne! All donations are tax-deductible and go directly to support the Tuolumne River Trust's work to protect and restore the River. If you need help, our staff will happily assist you in managing your web page and figuring out how to meet your goal.
FORMING A TEAM
We highly encourage paddlers to form teams. Participating along with family, friends, or co-workers makes the paddling and the fundraising that much more fun! Team captains should register under the "Start a Team" option and create a team name. Subsequently, team members can register under "Join a Team" and can select the team name under a scroll down menu. Regular registration fees and fund-raising requirements apply.
