About the event

Paddle for Health 2025!
Welcome to Paddle for Health – the annual celebration of strength, community, and spirited paddling in support of Island Kids Cancer Association (IKCA)!

IKCA supports Vancouver Island and Gulf Island families facing childhood cancer through every step of the journey. Through a holistic approach that prioritizes community connections, practical resources, and mental health and wellbeing, IKCA recognizes the family as a unit.

Join us on September 6th for a day at the beach! It’ll be your choice to paddle canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, or cheer on your team from the beach as we all unite for a fantastic cause!

Leading up to this exciting event, you and your team will be making waves of your own by raising funds that directly contribute to IKCA’s vital support services.

For the last 12 years, Paddle for Health has been a dedicated FUNdraiser enhancing the lives of cancer patients and their families through the power of paddle sports and community support!

Join us in making a splash for a cause that truly makes a difference!
