Sean Kraft’s raft being used by the club.
KCCNY is noted for our longstanding efforts at conservation and river access.
We also raise and donate funds to organizations such as American Rivers and American Whitewater to help their programs in river conservation and paddler access.
We also raise money to get folks into the sport including training and loaner whitewater gear. Speaking of loaner gear, much of our loaner gear was donated or sold at a discount to the club. We’re always looking for adjustable, edgy river runners, paddles, helmet and PFDs as well as wet suits and other paddling gear in good condition.
We’ll also take other paddling gear which we will pass on to support our programs. Sometimes this is giving to an affiliated clubs with different programs; other times this is selling the. And of course since we’re constantly upgrading, any gear we do acquire may be moved on.
KCCNY is a registered non-profit. All donations are tax deductible and a letter can be provided if needed.
If you have gear you’d like to donate*, please contact us.
KCCNY also has a member to club loan program in which members can loan equipment to the club so others can use it and be covered by our liability insurance.
But we need your help more then your money. From admin to training to coordinating please contact us (or just do it;-).
If you’d like to make a cash donation, please send checks to KCCNY Treasurer, 532 Grand Ave. #1, Newburgh, NY 12550. All donations are tax deducible.
*Donated gear may be sold or donated to raise funds for KCCNY.
