The annual St. John, USVI Chaotic Kayak Race is Sunday, July 10th. Forty teams are competing to raise funds to provide healthy paddling adventures for severely wounded active duty service personnel and veterans. Root for your favorite team by making a donation in their name today!

Last year, with the generous help of the people of St. John, Team River Runner raised almost $60,000 for our St. John leadership program. We hope to surpass this number in 2016!
