Hittin the gas for 2010!

Thank you everyone who came out and supported our 2010 season kickoff fundraiser!

We packed the place but most importantly everyone had a blast!

ORT is especially thankful for our donors who were so very generous in donating around $2,400 worth of goods and services.  These supporters of our whitewater community included;

Through the silent auction and raffle, we were able to convert donations into dollars which will cover most of our spring expenses which include; event permits and insurance, GAS, website and gear maintenance, event shuttle, misc. event costs, etc.

The very next night we rallied down to Team Quest off of Stark.  Pro fighters put us through a comprehensive FIT class designed to synthesize every muscle group in the body.  Early the next morning we engaged in our own unique workout at the Upper Wind which consisted of cardio, flexibility, river survival, paddle technique, and of course some head to head racin!

We hope to see you all at the 3^rd Annual Upper Wind Festival March 20-21^st!
