With a tip of the hat to Bending Branches and Aqua-Bound Paddles, our sixth donation went to Wisconsin K9 SOS Search and Rescue. This non-profit group, which is based in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, uses dogs in ground, water and building search and rescue operations. The organization operates throughout the state on a 24/7 timeframe, and never charges for its services. (They will also assist in out-of-state searches if requested.) You can learn more about this excellent group of two- and four-footed individuals at: https://www.wik9sos.org/ index.php
We’d like to thank Andrew Stern and all of the people behind Bending Branches and Aqua-Bound paddles for their sponsorship of the Yukon Journey Canoe and Kayak Charitable Expedition. Our team used these paddles exclusively on the Yukon, ranging from its canoeing expedition paddles to its kayak fishing paddles and high-end carbon kayaking paddles. Branches, LLC, the parent company of these brands, is the largest manufacturer of paddles in the world. Their work is outstanding, and we were thrilled that they chose to partner with us on this expedition.
