Kite 4 Cancer is On
Attention all PNW kiteboarders! Kiteboarding 4 Cancer is on!
We all share a love for the wind and water. We also share a common thread through our own personal experience or relationships with family, friends, and others in our communities: We have all somehow been touched by Cancer. Founded from these personal experiences with cancer and the passionate drive to do something about it, a group of us saw an untouched opportunity to unite the diverse and enthusiastic kiteboarding community to do something good.
Kiteboarding 4 Cancer (KB4C) is sponsoring an event formed to unite the passions of kiteboarders with the willingness and drive to find the cause and a cure for this disease that is diagnosed in 1.4 million people every year. KB4C is excited to partner with the following Cancer-benefit organizations including: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The John Wayne Cancer Foundation, CureSearch - National Children's Cancer Foundation, and The Children's Cancer Association
The 1st Annual KB4C will take place on Saturday, Aug. 25, 2007 at the Hood River Event Site! Events of the day include…
KB4C Kite Derby ~ Hood River Event Site
Kiteboarding participants raise pledge money prior to the event for the partnering cancer organization of their choice. Set on the Columbia River, kiteboarders ride for prizes in kiteboarding and fundraising: Most money raised, Longest distance kiteboarded, and Best freestyle expression.
