Our annual Cape to Cape Paddle is slated for Sunday August 23, a with the start and finish at the Fisherman's Memorial in Cape May Harbor. Race begins at 10:15AM and will conclude at 1:45PM. The modified race course allows spectator venues all around the Cape May Island, in the Harbor along Delaware Ave (10:15-10:45), Cape May Convention Center (11:00-11:30), Cove Pavilion (11:15-12:15), Sunset Beach (12:00-12:45), Higbees Beach (11:45-12:30), Cape May Canal (11:45-1:30) and Finish (12:00-1:45) ***ALL TIMES ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON RACE DAY CONDITIONS***

Due to COVID-19, our race was modified to go around the Cape May Island, normally the race begins in at the Ferry Terminal in Cape Henelopen, DE and finishes at Queen St in Cape May, NJ. Participants apply based on previous open ocean race experience, and there are 62 paddlers ranging from 14 - 58 years old. Race day registration is NOT AVAILABLE. Paddling is a socially distanced sport so with some assistance from Federal, State, and Local Government Agencies, approval was given to host the event. As Ryan Matthews (Asbury Park Fireman and Ocean Grove Beach Patrol), one of our annual paddlers said, "People are still suffering SCI's and living with paralysis, raising money is a really important part of our charity event to benefit those individuals."

The Desatnick Foundation offers financial and emotional support to those living with paralysis and individuals who suffer Spinal Cord Injury. The Foundation concentrates our efforts to Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean and Monmouth Counties in New Jersey. We offer monetary donations to individuals to assist with power wheel chairs, lifts for their home, modification of vehicles, and recently purchased Beach Wheelchairs for Cape May, Cape May Point, Wildwood Crest, Wildwood, North Wildwood, Ship Bottom, Sea Girt, Belmar, Spring Lake and Ocean Grove.

The Desatnick Foundation is a 501(c)3 Non-profit officially registered with the State of New Jersey and the IRS. More information can be found at www.desatnickfoundation.org or www.facebook.com/desatnickfoundation
