Waterman’s Applied Science sponsors Paddle for Humanity, with races across the U.S. http://paddleforhumanity.org/ The Sarcoma Alliance is proud that Waterman’s has chosen us as one of its charity partners. At each race, we can distribute information and sell gear. If paddlers designate us as their favorite charity, we will get 20 percent of their registration fee. Net proceeds from the events also will be divided among the charity partners.
The results of the races will be applied to World Paddle Association (WPA) rankings. But there also will be an event for anyone who wants to try paddleboarding. Read more on the Deerfield Beach event. In addition to paddleboarders who will register for us, the Alliance is looking for volunteers who will staff a table there and at the other events. We want to inform the public and make a welcoming space for anyone whose life has been affected by sarcoma. Read more on our blog.

First held in 1959, the Catalina race is the ultimate outrigger canoe race in California. Teams from all over the state, plus Canada, Hawaii, Guam and Japan, come to compete in the two-day event. Women, junior and coed teams race from Newport Beach to Avalon on Saturday, and men and master coed teams race back on Sunday. Ocean of Hope team members from Lanakila Outrigger Canoe Club raise money through their own fundraising pages each year.

SARC, a nonprofit consortium of sarcoma physicians who conduct collaborative clinical trials, holds a biannual meeting at ASCO and CTOS each year. Arthur Beckert, executive director of the Alliance, attends to hear the latest on clinical trials and other sarcoma research. SARC’s website also has much useful information. By the way, some people confuse our nonprofit with SARC.
