‘Sup Dog! Wanna Paddle for PAALS?

Dogs can bring their humans stand up paddling(SUP) and/or kayaking for the month of May to raise funds for PAALS service dogs and community programs.  Paddlers with or without dogs can paddle on their own and/or in groups and track their paddle time.  Premier sponsor Be Soulfish will be offering free SUP lessons and PAALS Founding Director will offer free tips on how to paddle with dogs to anyone registered.  Live Facebook and in-person sessions will start on May 1.  Find sponsors to compete to raise the most money for a chance to win a brand-new SUP board.  Don’t have a body of water near you? You can paddle with your hands at a pool.  Don’t have a dog or have a dog who doesn’t enjoy these activities?  Feel free to bring a mascot (stuffed dogs allowed).  A celebration will be held on Saturday June 1st starting at Neal’s Creekhouse in Murrells Inlet with a Paddle Parade in the inlet at 2:00pm for all registered (sorry no swimming at this one).  All registered paddlers will also enjoy an after-parade party from 3:00 – 5:00 sponsored by and hosted at Neal’s Creekside with snacks and prizes!  Meet PAALS ambassadors (canine and human) and be a part of changing people’s lives for the better! We will also have 50/50 raffle, auction items and awesome give aways at the after party.

This year participants have even more chances to win prizes for most money raised. This is done through asking individuals and/or businesses to sponsor you for how much time you paddle in May. The sheet will be emailed after we receive your registration. The individual who raises the most money for PAALS will win a brand-new Standup Paddle Board.
