PADDLE  FOR  WATER

We’re excited to announce that Pirate Coast Paddle Company will be hosting our first annual “Paddle for Water” event in Newport Beach this Fall. Pirate Coast has partnered with Charity Water to bring fresh water wells to the Bayaka people in the Central African Republic and wants to invite you to join us in saving lives and bringing joy to those in need.

 Charity Water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 1 billion people in the world today do not have access to the most basic human need, water. The truth is that 42,000 people die each week due to unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions. Sadly, 90% of those who die are under the age of 5.

 With your help we have the ability to provide multiple clean water drinking wells for the Bayaka people. With just $5,000 we can provide one well that has the ability to provide clean water for 250 people over 20 years.

 With local Corporations already pledging to match donations it is up to you to help raise the first $5,000. To help encourage the giving, Pirate Coast will be offering, free of charge, a spot in our “Paddle for Water” event that will take place on October 23, 2010. In order to celebrate your generosity as well as raise awareness for this cause we will paddle from the Newport Aquatic Center to Beacon Bay.
