Raising Funds for Team River Runner Atlanta

Registration: RAFFLE! Raising Funds for Team River Runner (Aug 16, 2013 – Aug 17, 2013 )

Thank you for Helping to Raise Funds for Team River Runner!

Through the generous donation by Liquid Logic and Woody Callaway the GCA is raffling a Liquid Logic Remix 69 to raise funds for the Atlanta Chapter of Team River Runner. Raffle tickets will be 5 for $5 dollars. The winning ticket will be drawn on August 17th after the completion of the GCA’s Southeastern Downriver race and the NOC Canoe Club Challenge. Winner does not have to be present to win. This is not a GCA fundraiser, 100% of the funds go directly to the Atlanta Chapter of Team River Runner.
