Who:
You and a pedaling partner! SIGN UP NOW! There are limited spaces with 15 boats per heat and only 3 heats.
What:
The Paddle Boat Regatta of the century, so far.
When:
Sunday, August 17, 2008, at 4 PM.
Where:
Echo Park Lake and The Echo, Los Angeles CA 90026. FREE parking on Sundays in the public lot behind The Echo Park Time Travel Mart (Just below Sunset Blvd. between Logan and Lemoyne Streets). Click here for a map.
Why:
1) For the kids — all proceeds benefit the activities of 826LA!
2) For the prizes (TBA), the trophy, free entrance to the After Race Show (TBA) at The Echo, the title of World’s Best Paddle Boat Racers, and the eternal glory of victory.
How:
Register to boat at www.826la.org/regatta between now and August 16th. Each team member pays a $50 entry fee. As soon as the team has signed up, anyone and everyone can come to this website to pledge their support for the team(s) of their choice. Spaces are limited, so register today!
By donating money to the teams, the pledger helps buy their favorite team a better starting position. Team members should raise as much money as possible, because regatta teams will be ranked by their total funds raised.
Each heat will have a maximum of 15 boats. The “Commodores” (top 15 fund-raisers) will send 5 teams to finals, “Lieutenants” (mid-15 fund-raisers) sends 3 teams and “Ensigns” (lowest 15 fund-raisers) sends 2 teams. Additionally, we will be raffling one boat in the Commodore heat for $20 a ticket.
