From July 23 through Aug. 1, 46 participants paddled, kayaked, walked and ran throughout the Long Island Sound region for Paddle for the Sound fundraiser. Together, they raised $9,705 to support Save the Sound”™s efforts and programs to fight climate change, save endangered lands, protect the Sound and its rivers and work with nature to restore ecosystems.

“We could not be happier with the success of our second virtual Paddle for the Sound event,” said Director of Member Engagement and Events at Save the Sound Emily Green. “”¦It”™s disappointing to not see everyone out there together, but also inspiring that so many people want to show their support by participating virtually. I look forward to next year when hopefully we can gather together once again for Paddle for the Sound,” said Green.
