Paddle for Betterment
For 25 summers, paddles have carried people through the St. Lawrence River for more than just a morning on the water.
They’ve carried friendships, family traditions, laughter, stories, and a shared spirit of giving back to the community we call home. Some come for the poker run. Some come for the islands. Some come because summer simply wouldn’t feel complete without it.
From first-time paddlers to lifelong river families, everyone has a place on the water. Join us this July for the 25th Annual Paddle for Betterment as locals and visitors alike explore the beauty of the Thousand Islands, collect poker cards along the way, and support local individuals, families, and organizations throughout our community.
Come for the adventure. Return for the tradition. Leave knowing you were part of something meaningful. Pre-Register Today online - Save $5 with Code: Give5 www.CommunityBetterment.org/AlexandriaBay
