Paddle for Veterans 2022

On June 25, 2022, The Cross the Line Foundation hosted it’s fourth annual Paddle for Veterans. This year 107 people took on the nine mile challenge paddling from St. Mary’s Georgia to Fernandina Beach, Florida. This years paddle raised enough to make donations of $6,500.00  to Task Force Hydro 1 and One More Wave. Both of these organizations provide opportunities and equipment for wounded and disabled Veterans, allowing them to get back on the water through surfing, kayaking, and rowing.

Kickoff – Registration will open 5pm at our kick-off diner Wednesday March 30th 5-8pm.  On-line registration will open at 8pm after the kick-off dinner.
