Paddles Up!

We love the 1000 Islands as much as you do and we are excited to help shape the future of our area in positive ways!  Please join us in our quest to "Paddle for a Purpose" — with your help and energy we can raise funds to promote, enhance and help Hammond!  Through the fun sports of kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddling you can help increase awareness of our area, and more importantly, continue to give back in a manner that will make our community better and stronger. 

This annual event is hosted by the Foundation for Community Betterment and VisitHammondNY in an effort to help promote tourism and awareness of Hammond and Chippewa Bay, NY, as well as instill philanthropic values in our community.
