It's that time again! The Paddlers for Humanity Block Island Challenge is scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2025. This year is the 20th year of the Block Island Paddle and it is also the last year of this event!! Please help me exceed my fundraising goal to send off this amazing event!
The Block Island Challenge is a 18-19 mile open ocean paddle from the Montauk Lighthouse in Montauk, NY to Block Island, Rhode Island. Each paddler has a goal of raising a minimum of $1,500 to participate. The paddle will begin at 6:00 am and will take approximately 6-8 hours. Please consider helping me meet my fundraising goal to better the lives of children on the East End. These funds are needed more than ever right now. No amount is too small. From $5-$500, every dollar goes to childrens mental health programs!
Paddlers for Humanity is an all-volunteer, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization based in East Hampton, NY dedicated to bettering the lives of children, with an emphasis on supporting innovative and comprehensive mental health programs for kids and youth, including greater early intervention outreach, resiliency, anti-bullying, and changing behavior through a focus on the positive. Plus, the P4H Catastrophic Fund supports families in crisis on the East End of Long Island.
