Why AW’s Paddle Ecuador!contest?
Ohiopyle Falls…The headwaters of the Chattooga…Johns Creek…sections of the South Platte…Skykomish…The whitewater rivers we love to paddle are increasingly under siege.
When river access is threatened, AW is there representing the boaters. We’ve won several battles, but others continue.
The more members we have, the more successful we’ll be at keeping us all on the rivers we love and respect! (Read more about AW’s access program.)
PLUS, we want YOU to paddle ECUADOR! Get in on the contest today!
Why you should get your buddies to join AW
- They’ll get their own subscription to AW Journal – and stop borrowing yours!
- They’ll strengthen the voice for boater access.
- They could help send you to Ecuador!
- The more members AW has, the more effective we’ll be at preserving rivers and keeping you on them.
- They’ll get full AW member benefits – and it’s tax-deductible!
- It’s just $25 a year – far less than a season pass at the slopes.
HOT TIP: Send all the paddlers you know an e-mail telling them AW is rallying the troops to fight for access and include a link to our online membership form. Then e-mail their names to EcuadorContest@americanwhitewater.org so we can credit you in the contest when they join.
