Paddle for Port
Kayak Run For Charity
Annual Kayak Run on Manhasset Bay
The Community Chest of Port Washington and the Town of North Hempstead invite you to take part in the annual Paddle for Port kayak run on Saturday, July 25 at 10:00 AM. This family-friendly fundraiser invites participants to launch from the North Hempstead Town Dock or Manorhaven boat ramp for a leisurely paddle around scenic Manhasset Bay—all in support of local charities serving Port Washington residents.
Kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes are all welcome. Don’t have your own gear? No problem—discounted kayak rentals are available at Kostal Paddle (158 Manorhaven Blvd.). Call Kostal Paddle at (516) 262-3775 or visit them at kostalpaddle.com for more details.
Stick around after the paddle for a raffle drawing of a brand-new kayak, held at the Town Dock to close out the event.
