Tara Hall Paddle Fest
Tara Hall Home for Boys 510 Tara Hall Road, Georgetown, South Carolina 29440
Tara Hall’s annual Paddle Fest in Georgetown is your chance to make a splash and a difference.
What is Paddle Fest? Tara Hall’s annual Paddle Fest starts with hundreds of paddlers venturing out on Black Mingo Creek in kayaks, canoes and even on paddle boards. They navigate a scenic, two-mile route to the shores of Tara Hall Home for Boys. At the campus, paddlers join hundreds of others for outdoor activities, live music from local bands, food and more. Kids’ activities include water slides, face painting and afternoon races--kayaks for the older kids and barrel races for the younger. Plan to bring the whole family. It will be quite a splash!
Why should you attend Paddle Fest? It's a fun-filled day, and all proceeds from the Paddle Fest benefit Tara Hall Home for Boys. Tara Hall is a nationally accredited, long-term residential home and school that accepts neglected, troubled and abused boys. Whether they have been taken away from abuse and neglect or sent away because of unmanageable behavior, at Tara Hall, they come together as brothers and leave as changed young men.
Why sponsor the Paddle Fest? Sponsorships play a large role in the funds raised for Tara Hall through Paddle Fest. This year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. There are several sponsorship opportunities, ranging from $250 to $2,500, that afford supporters recognition, complimentary tickets, T-shirts and more.
