Wahine Women’s Fundraising Paddle for Humanity:
Please Sponsor Jessica Bellofatto to Raise Money for
The Retreat Women's Shelter in East Hampton!
Dear Friends: I am excited to announce that I will be paddling in Paddlers for Humanity’s Wahine Women’s Fundraising Paddle on July 11th. Your support would mean so much to me.
Paddlers for Humanity is an all volunteer, non-profit organization based in East Hampton that raises funds and awareness for worthy non-profit organizations, and provides help to local individuals and families in need of medical or financial support. The organization also bestows scholarships to area students who have shown great promise. The funds are raised through a series of sporting challenges, primarily paddling and running events.
The Wahine Paddle is a women’s-only, 2-hour paddle from Lazy Point in Amagansett to Fort Pond Bay in Montauk. The event encourages participants to take on a personal challenge, while raising money for The Retreat, a women’s abuse shelter located right here on the East End.
The Retreat’s mission is to provide safety, shelter and support for victims of domestic abuse and to break the cycle of family violence. They provide help for hundreds of families each year. Think of some of the clips you may have read in the news about victims of domestic abuse; this organization strives to put an end those instances by helping those women and their children.
Last year the Wahine Paddle raised over $11,000; this year we’d like to increase the number of participating paddlers, as well as the money we raise. So please click here make a donation is support of KamaDeva Yoga, or click here to register your participation and let’s paddle together.
If you prefer to pay by check, mail your donation to: Paddlers for Humanity, P.O. Box 2555, East Hampton, NY 11937. Please remember to make mention KamaDeva Yoga/Jessica Bellofatto
Thanks in advance and hope to see you at the start or the finish!
Best,
Jessica Bellofatto
