American Whitewater wishes to thank the Joy Family Foundation for helping us bring you the new and we hope you will agree vastly improved website. Last year they underwrote this effort with a $20,000 grant and this year they have donated an additional $5000. American Whitewater is continually upgrading our pages and in the coming months we hope to bring you higher resolution maps, improved graphics, a commercial resource sub-site called "Gear, Guides & Services" and an improved database of resources for volunteer activists. While we are taking this opportunity to thank the Joy Family we want to remind you that your continued membership is critical too. The resources on this website are free only in short sight.
