Calling All Volunteers!

Party: 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Calf Pasture Beach, East Norwalk, CT
Our own Charles Rothenberger is paddling again this year in the tenth annual Kayak for a Cause. Last year he didn't need to get fished out of the Sound even once! We thought we'd test our luck and put him in a boat again, so he will be joining the teams of kayakers paddling madly across the Sound to raise money for Save the Sound, Maritime Aquarium, Outward Bound, Builders Beyond Borders, and Canine Companions. Donate to support your favorite paddler and welcome them on the beach in Norwalk. Join us there for a day-long party featuring a lobsterbake and a concert by Dickie Betts (formerly of the Allman Brothers Band!) and The Great Southern.
If you would like to contribute to Charles, click here.
