Kayaks for the Cause

Looks like outdoor sports lovers can also get in on the craze to support the cause. Check it out:

“As part of their commitment to the cause, Ocean Kayak® donates one percent of gross sales from their Venus 10 and Venus 11 kayaks, while Necky® donates in-kind proceeds from the Eliza and Eliza UltraLite kayaks. Since the program’s inception in 2002, Ocean Kayak® and Necky® Kayaks have donated $26,866 to the Breast Cancer Fund and both brands plan to add more kayaks into the program in 2008. “

These are kayaks marketed for women, designed by women … they are all about us. How cool is that? It makes perfect sense for them to support the cause in lieu of their dedication to healthy women.

Here’s a link to a post about the press release!

So I was curious … are their other pink ribbon paddler dreams out there? You betcha.

The Ohio River Way is hosting its fifth annual “Paddlefest” on the Ohio River July 9-10, 2007. And, “Thaxton’s South Fork Canoe Trails, in cooperation with Paddlesports International, will donate their 28 foot Voyager Canoe which will be repainted pink and hold up to 16 breast cancer survivors and patients who will journey 6 miles down the Ohio River on July 10.”photo_pinkcanoe2005.jpg

  1. Sister Study Says:

    How would you like to make a difference in breast cancer research? The Sister Study needs your help to determine if breast cancer is caused by something women come in contact with at work, at home, in their communities or in the personal products they use.

    The Sister Study is looking for 50,000 women to help discover the environmental and genetic causes of the disease. Women ages 35 to 74 are eligible to join if their sister (living or deceased), related to them by blood, had breast cancer; they have never had breast cancer themselves; and they live in the United States or Puerto Rico.

    ENROLL TODAY or simply help spread the word to women in your community! Either way, you can help find the causes of breast cancer!!
