ROW Adventures Sponsors Event to Combat Cancer
TUESDAY, 8 JULY 2008
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - ROW Adventures, an Idaho-based adventure travel company, is hosting a breast cancer awareness fundraising event on August 10 on the Clark Fork River. The first annual rafting trip is limited to 100 participants and 50 percent of all proceeds go directly to the Coeur d'Alene affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Raft for the Cure - Coeur d'Alene is a whitewater day trip through the Alberton Gorge section of Montana's Clark Fork River. ROW Adventures provides all necessary gear, professional whitewater rafting guides, riverside lunch, transportation to and from the river from Superior, Montana, and an event t-shirt for all participants.
The Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork River is an easy to intermediate stretch of river with roller coaster waves and Class II-III rapids. The river flows through a deep, isolated canyon and is a great introduction to whitewater rafting. The trip is ideal for families with children ages five and up.
"I've wanted to organize an event like this for a while," said Peter Grubb, founder of ROW Adventures. "It's an opportunity to float a beautiful stretch of river with friends and family, knowing that half the trip price will help fight breast cancer in our local communities. I'm happy to support this cause and look forward to making this rafting trip an annual event."
