PADDLE 4 GOOD INC

Description

We’ve 2 main programs:

PaddleTogether - free, inclusive, events that connect community volunteers with children with special needs for a safe 1/2 day of paddling activities which include stand up paddling (SUP), kayaking, peddle boats, lawn games, & more. These events make a huge impact in the community for everyone. Volunteers discover compassion & a greater understanding of those with special needs. Those with special needs are empowered with self-confidence & self-esteem while making new friends. Parents discover their children may be capable of things they never thought possible while also being touched that others in their community care to connect & serve their children.

Help-a-Heart CPR - a free, 5-10 minute, hands-on experience that empowers people with the skills that they need to save someone who's experienced a heart attack using an AED & hands-only CPR. We bring this to community events & corporate health fairs. Our results have been remarkable - over 58% of participants have never had any CPR experience, yet over 90% feel comfortable finding an AED & doing CPR after learning from us. We look to expand to serve more schools & partner with other non-profit organizations serving children.
