My family has been actively involved with LCKC since our son began participating in the Beginners Racing League (BRL) over
4 years ago. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of watching him grow through kayaks,
transition to canoes, and now train year-round as part of the Canoe Team.
Both my wife and I have served on the LCKC Board of Directors, and our entire family strongly
believes in giving back through volunteerism. Supporting the club has been a rewarding
experience, and we are proud to contribute our time and energy to an organization that has
had such a positive impact on our lives and our community.
As local business owners, we also recognize the importance of supporting organizations that
promote healthy, lifelong sports for athletes of all ages. We are committed to helping LCKC
continue to grow, thrive, and serve as a place where athletes and families can build lasting connections
