On Thanksgiving morning, the 24th annual Paddle For Starvation wrapped up a fundraising effort for the Maui Meals Financial institution with almost 200 group members in attendance.
Based on organizers, the occasion raised $four,965 in financial donations and 475 kilos of meals, which equaled 21,000 meals for the Maui Meals Financial institution. Hawaiian Paddle Sports activities hosted the occasion as a part of its month-to-month Mālama Maui group service program.
In the course of the fundraiser, contributors paddled the course alone or with a small group of pals in outrigger canoes, V1s, surf skis, paddleboards, surfboards or any floating machine.
They recorded their GPS time and heading, and took pictures of their paddling expertise so they might showcase. Paddle For Starvation t-shirts had been additionally distributed.
“We’re honored to host Paddle For Starvation and grateful to the group for serving to us proceed this custom since 2012.” stated Timothy Lara, proprietor of Hawaiian Paddle Sports activities. “Most significantly, we need to shine a light-weight on the Maui Meals Financial institution, its present wants and its good work to scale back meals insecurity on Maui.”
