 Profile
Team Kayak 4 a Kure is raising funds through donations and sponsorships for our expedition in May of 2007. The expedition will take us from the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca, MN by kayak to the Gulf of Mexico some 2,350 miles away. Proceeds from this journey will benefit the Children's Cancer Research Fund, with our goal set at $500,000.
A secondary purpose will be educational in nature. The Amarillo Independent School District will include our expedition in the classroom. Students will learn about our cause and the history of the Mississippi River. This will be an interactive experience as well with the students being able to visit with us via email, blogs, streaming video and audio links.
Hiro Anan, Director/Producer has joined our team and will be filming and producing a documentary of the entire process form planning to the Gulf of Mexico.
Media stops are planned along the way in major cities. Logos from sponsors will be displayed on the Kayak, banners, t-shirts, chase vehicles, websites, blogs, flyers, documentary footage, and on our mobile editing suite.
We are pleased to have several sponsors on board with us already such as Teva, Whitewater Safety Research Institute, and Dr. Irena Eris.
This is an excellent way to support a wonderful cause, get public and media exposure, and be able to receive a tax deduction as well. Yes...we are a nonprofit corporation.
