Paddle, sail, run or walk to help Save the Sound!
Our friends at Save the Sound have announced that due to COVID-19, this year’s edition of their popular Paddle for the Sound event will be virtual, and they’re opening it up with many more ways to participate.
Enjoy our great outdoors while fighting for regional environmental protection. You can keep your Long Island Soundkeeper on the water tracking down pollution at its source, prevent trash from making its way into our waterways and protect our native and migratory fish species – just by getting outside and paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing, walking, running, or hiking!
Participate in a friendly virtual competition to see who can cover the most distance and raise awareness and funds to protect our regional environment. Or simply “raise your paddle” and participate in our online silent auction. Click here to see our online auction prizes and bid from August 14 through August 23.
Prizes for the farthest distance, most money raised through social fundraising, and more will be given to active participants who paddle, sail and walk for the Sound over two weeks, from August 14 – 31.
Make it a family event and raise money to benefit your regional environmental leader: Save the Sound.

Create your crowdfunding page!

Even if you can’t participate in the event you can still help support our work by signing up for your fundraising page here. All funds raised will go directly toward keeping our waters plastic and pollution free, restoring habitats for native and migratory species, and preserving our open spaces for generations to come. Also compete and win prizes for the most money raised!
