WHY DO WE PADDLE?

Water is the ultimate equalizer, but standard water parks leave millions of individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities on the sidelines. StirringWaters is changing that. Located right here in Central Florida, this groundbreaking park removes every barrier, allowing families of all abilities to splash, play, and experience the joy of water together. When you support a paddler, you are funding freedom, inclusion, and joy for families who have waited far too long for a place to play. HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE JOURNEY Every dollar counts! Choose a crew to support, back an individual paddler, or become an official sponsor to help us reach our $125,000 goal. Support a Paddler: Help a crew member hit their personal $2,500 fundraising milestone.

5th Annual StirringWaters Fundraising Paddle

Making Waves for Inclusion
Welcome to the 5th Annual StirringWaters Fundraising Paddle! For five years, our community has come together to paddle with purpose. On the morning of October 31st, we are bringing our fleet to the beautiful Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven, Florida, with our most ambitious goal yet.
Five giant Voyageur Canoes. Four dedicated Team Captains. One mission: to raise $125,000 to help build StirringWaters— A 100% universally accessible aquatic adventure park.

THE CHALLENGE: 5 CANOES. $125,000.

Each Voyageur Canoe is led by a Team Captain rallying a crew of 8 to 10 paddlers. Every single stroke brings us closer to our goal: Per Canoe Goal: $25,000 Per Paddler Goal: $2,500
