Come join us each year, rain or shine, as we paddle 10 miles for charity down the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River from Tatesville to Hopewell, Pennsylvania! We invite you to attend a tailgate after the float, where you'll find raffle prizes, food, live entertainment and t-shirt sales. The delicious Sipes Smokehouse BBQ will be available for purchase throughout the afternoon and evening. As always, FREE camping is available at Cooper's Recreation Area. Bring your family and friends, and join us at the Annual Float For Charity. There is no preregistration. Registration is on site the morning of the float only. A $15.00 donation for adults and $5.00 donation for children under 10 to participate is greatly appreciated. Please make personal checks, cashier's checks or money orders payable to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation. Shuttle busing will take place in the morning during registration. The last bus leaves Cooper's at 11:00 AM sharp to keep the launch on schedule.
