Paddlers for Humanity is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in East Hampton, NY that raises money and awareness for local and global organizations dedicated to bettering children's lives. We also support local families in crisis and award scholarships to local students.  

Funds are raised through a series of paddling and running adventures and challenges.

Our commitment to you - our athletes, donors, volunteers, and supporters - is to judiciously evaluate the charities, causes, projects, families, and individuals that receive gifts from us.
