Paddlers for Humanity

Paddlers for Humanity (P4H) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit where participants paddle 18 miles from Montauk to Block Island in the Atlantic Ocean to raise funds for local organizations supporting children in need.  I’ve been a part of P4H since I was six years-old, starting out as support boat volunteer - throwing bananas, water, and Gatorade to paddlers, and helping however I could, to ultimately becoming a participant.  Last year, I recruited several of my peers from various high schools to join me and was the top fundraiser!
