Paddle for Cancer and Kiteboard 4 Cancer invite artists of all mediums to submit entries for a city-wide exhibit in Hood River as part of our annual fundraiser.
Paddle 4 Cancer is dedicated to embracing the healing power of wind and water with the determination of the human spirit to benefit those affected by cancer through funding of advocacy, prevention, and survivorship programs. Paddlers race in an endurance race, relay race, and full contact SUP race on the mighty Columbia River to raise funds for the cause of cancer.
