In the past twelve years, the Support Strokes event has raised over $283,000 for Bay Area nonprofit organizations working to support breast cancer patients, fund treatment and advocate for research. Support Strokes seeks through paddling to combat the devastation a diagnosis of breast cancer can bring to our families, friends, neighbors and community. Each participating paddler is asked to raise a minimum of $100.
