The Stamford-based environmental education nonprofit SoundWaters will be hosting its annual fundraising event SoundWaters on July 15.
Kayakers and paddleboarders of all skill levels are invited to participate in the event, which launches from Cove Island Park and travels a four-mile route to Boccuzzi Park (both locations are in Stamford), where participants will enjoy a celebratory lunch and music on the beach. For most paddlers, the course will take one-and-a-half to two hours, and SoundWaters will provide shuttle transportation for paddlers and their equipment back to their starting points at the end of the event.
“This event aligns especially well with our core purpose ”“ having people connect to Long Island Sound,” said Leigh Shemitz, SoundWaters”™ president. “A group paddle this size is an incredible amount of fun, and getting out on the water helps us all realize that the Sound is worth protecting.”
The annual Flotilla has raised more than $200,000 since its 2017 debut. More information and registration are available on online.
