On Friday, June 21, 24 Foundation will launch an exciting new event held on the waters of the Catawba River.

Dam to Dam is an epic 24-mile standup paddleboard event starting at the Mountain Island Lake Dam and ending at the Lake Wylie Dam, followed by a post-paddle celebration. The event is fully supported with stocked support boats, multiple rest stops, a catered lunch, and memories to last a lifetime.

No paddleboard experience is necessary, but we want to know your “WHY.” So we’ve created an application process to select 36 paddlers for this year’s inaugural event. Show us who you are! Our future plans are to greatly expand the number of paddlers. The deadline for applications has passed. If you are interested in being added to the waitlist, please email us. Applicants will be notified by March 18, 2024 if they have been selected to participate.

Our common goal is to raise funds and awareness for supportive oncology programs and services in our community. The demand for cancer support services is greater than ever, and 24 Foundation has raised more than $27 million to date. This event is a new way to come together for a common goal.

Dam to Dam is an 11-hour journey that is fun and relaxing, but at times will challenge you mentally and physically. Whether you are a cancer survivor, caregiver, or someone who wants to make a difference, you are in for something very unique and special.
