The Cause
If you or someone you know has battled cancer, this is your opportunity to give to an amazing cause. We've researched the most deserved and impactful cancer programs and organizations in the Northwest to partner with for KB4C. All of our programs and beneficiaries that receive funding from your donation through Kiteboarding 4 Cancer are local from Seattle to Portland to Hood River to The Dalles. Children's Hospital Seattle, Children's Healing Art Project Portland, The Next Door Inc. Hood River, and Celilo Cancer Center The Dalles.

Race as One, or one Team
Individual participants must either raise a minimum of $100 to take part in the Kite Derby, the SUP Race, or the Slider Event or pay $50 through KB4C.org or the day-of.

Teams must include 4 people and must raise $500 collectively. Teams register as individuals, then team captain must email tonia@kb4c.org with team members. There will be prizes for individual winners and teams. All athletes must register through the Kiteboarding 4 Cancer website. Or go to www.KB4C.org - Click on Get Involved and Registration.
