Invest in AW and Win!

UPDATE: Deadline extended to Dec. 31st!

Your donations to AW in 2008 may have been the best investment you made all year. Your support has yielded new protections and access for many rivers plus flow restoration and countless beautiful days on the water for you and your paddling partners.

As 2008 comes to a close we ask that you consider making an additional, tax deductible, donation to American Whitewater beyond your regular membership dues. Plus, to emphasize the value of this investment, anyone who has donated since Oct. 1, or who is going to donate by Dec. 15th by Dec. 31st, will be entered into a raffle for a brand new Dagger Kayak!

Your contribution with us will yield strong returns for years to come in the form of free flowing waters and river access - and in the short term maybe even win a new kayak! This year's successes include:

• Dams Removed +3
• Designated Wilderness Areas +1
• Chattooga Comments +1,500
• Bear Releases (ID) +4
• McCloud Flow Studies +1
• Yuba/Bear Reaches Studies for Flows +20
• Gauley Access Areas +1
• Savage Releases +2
• New Dams Defeated +8

All you have to do (or have done since Oct. 1) is be a current member and donate at least $5 to American Whitewater beyond your usual membership dues. If you'd like to donate now head over to our donation page, enter your donation amount in the box on the upper right side and hit "Donate!" Likewise, if your membership isn't current (or you haven't joined yet) go to our join and renew page or check out our current Holiday Membership Offer.

We'll be announcing the winner in the first week of the new year so head on over to the Dagger website now to choose your favorite boat in advance!

Thanks again for investing in American Whitewater!
