WHY WE GIVE

Scott at Pacific Cup 2022"We give to the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Racing Team because we see what an amazing experience it has been for our grandson. He has learned a new sport, learned how to be a productive member of a team, and has established strong relationships with teammates and coaches that are encouraging and meaningful. His hard work and commitment to his team not only makes him a better athlete, but also a better person. We can't wait to see what his second year on the team brings!" - Bruce and Cheryl Evans

Smiles at Pacific Cup 2022

"The character-building that we have seen demonstrated by the coaching staff and older athletes is inspiring. Athletes are expected to take responsibility for all aspects of their training, including boat maintenance, setting-up and cleaning-up of team equipment at regattas, and general care of the training facilities. It is truly inspiring to see our young athletes working hard both on the water and land to ensure they are the best team possible and keep adding to their nine-time National Championships!" - James and Cara Cantonwine
