PHYSICAL EVENT IN MICHIGAN:
Great news, our team of Ambassadors and Super Stars in Muskegon, MI are hosting a physical event on September 4, 2021 at Ross Park, Norton Shores. The event will be smaller in scale, but with all the empathy, compassion and Aloha of our huge events. Simply register as usual, join your favorite Muskegon Fundraising Team or create your own.
Make sure to RSVP for the Ross Park Event under the "Special Events" Tab. ***We will have a limited number of jerseys on hand at Ross Park. Must register online prior to event.
Space will be limited in order to maintain a safe gathering and registration will be required for entry. Although, this will be smaller than our past in-person events, it will still be a festival-style, family-friendly event for paddlers of all levels. We invite you to register and save your spot early. Fundraise with your family, friends, and coworkers and help money to fight Breast Cancer!Funds raised will benefit Hackley Community Care and the Van Andel Institute.
***After you register for the summer campaign and join your favorite team, Michigan folks planning to attend the September 4th event must RSVP on the "Muskegon In-person Event" under the Special Event Drop Down Menu***
MICRO-EVENTS:
If you are a Team Leader who is hosting a "Micro-event", please let us know the details: date, time, location and we'll share with participants in your zip code if you wish.
Since 2012, Standup for the Cure has been uniting paddlers, fitness enthusiasts, yoga practitioners, medical professionals and the breast cancer community in an effort to save lives. We are a compassionate community engaged in raising funds and awareness for this important cause while fostering wellness for the body, mind and soul with activities for the whole family! Together, we have raised over $1.3M to date.
We invite you to Standup with us in 2021!
