All you need to paddle is a good attitude. No experience necessary! Children and adults alike are encouraged to paddle. Staff members, all of whom have experience working with children with autism, will be there to support paddlers.

To kick off the event join us June 18th for a night of frivolity & camaraderie at the Lucky Lab NW. Enjoy the wide selection of both premium and domestic beers and top shelf spirits while doing something good for your fellow man. Honestly, imbibing never felt this good.
