This year BoatU.S. offered us an opportunity to paint one of our fleet vessels pink for the month of October in order to help spread awareness for Breast Cancer! Considering 1 in 8 women are affected by this terrible disease we felt that we needed to do more than bring awareness. We decided to put together a fundraiser to help raise money to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. 

TowBoatU.S San Diego typically provides on water assistance to broke down boaters throughout the greater San Diego area. We are a small family business owned by Robert Butler and his daughter Courtney. In the spring of 2023, the family was directly impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis when Robert’s sister-in-law, Courtney’s aunt, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Since this hit so close to home, we knew starting a fundraiser was definitely a choice we needed to make. 

The fundraiser we have created is a paddle board poker run. Where participants will paddle board throughout Shelter Island Yacht Basin to various stations and receive one playing card from each of the eight stations. Once the participants finish their course, they will present their best 5 card poker hand. The entry fee is a simple $20 donation along with the option to purchase raffle tickets. We have over $12,000.00 in prizes to give away.  100% of donations will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
