10th ANNUAL ADLER PADDLER  

**ADLER PADDLER POSTPONED!**

Based upon recent events, and at the recommendation of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, California Governor Newsom, and the California Department of Public Health,  Paddle With Purpose & The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health has decided to officially postpone the 10th Annual Adler Paddler Sunday March 15th, 2020.

This decision was not made lightly and in the interest of protecting our local and paddling communities, we are heeding their advice.

As we move forward Paddle With Purpose will be working with the City of Long Beach to schedule a new date.  For those who have donated to the cause, we will be reaching out soon.

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions: info@PaddleWithPurpose.org
