Thank you so much for participating in Queen City Paddle’s Heat Stroke 2021 and, in turn, helping the children of Hope Village! Please read through for important information. If you have any questions feel free to email me at queencitypaddle@gmail.com.

Bonita Lakes Park is located at Bonita Reservoir Rd, Meridian, MS 39301. Boat ramp is located on the upper lake. Drive past the smaller lake, turn right and cross the dam. The road will lead you directly to us.

You must sign a waiver before competing. They will be available at check-in.

While certainly not a requirement, please consider bringing any of the following items with you on race day to donate directly to Hope Village:

Paper towels – we never have enough of these!
Dishwasher detergent pods
Washing machine detergent pods
Journals for both boys and girls – every child receives one at Christmas
Rolling duffle bags – we give each child luggage at Christmas since many carry their few belongings in trash bags from place to place
Makeup sets – fun sets for teenage girls since we give each girl one at Christmas
Bath and body sets for girls and boys – each child receives a set at Christmas
