187 MILES OF WONDER
A 4-day fundraising paddle
on the Willamette River from Eugene to salem
WE ARE WONDERING …
Come join us virtually on a special adventure, and help us protect, restore and share... 187 Miles of WONDER!
As many of all you know, due to the ongoing pandemic Willamette Riverkeeper had to cancel our 20th Paddle Oregon for 2 years in a row, as well as celebrations related to our Riverkeeper & Executive Director, Travis Williams, ringing in his 20th year of service to the river and Willamette Riverkeeper's 25th year as the eyes and ears of your river. As a result, we continue to find creative ways to raise money to support our work throughout the river basin! In addition, we have missed connecting communities with the river, as our combined programs would typically have engaged over 2,000 people in on-the-water experiences and volunteer opportunities at this point in the year.
WE MET OUR GOAL - THANK YOU!
Starting on September 21st, Travis Williams, our Riverkeeper and Executive Director, and Heather King, our Deputy Director (perhaps joined along the way by some staff and/or long-time members) will paddle a portion of Willamette River, starting in Eugene.
Whether you pledge $1, $10, $100 per mile, or more, every donation helps us reach our goal and you can earn some cool incentives!
