Make A Wish - Hank's Rafting Wish

In this video our team is sharing the story of a a young boater named Hank who, after his battle with Leukemia, decided he wanted to follow in his parent’s footsteps and wished become a rafter. Our friends at Sotar Reached out to us for help on behalf of Make-A-Wish in making this wish come true and with the help of some amazing sponsors the team stepped up and made Hank’s wish come true in time for the 2022 Feather River Festival. Our friends at American Whitewater helped to provide an incredible back drop to make this happen with such a huge gathering of boaters embodying the spirit of the river community. Getting the gear together was no small feat, but we can’t thank our friends at Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, ExPed, NRS, Pit Viper, Rumpl, and Sawyer Paddles and Oars. We also can’t thank all of the folks who came out to cheer Hank on enough for being there to support him and his family. We also want to give a huge shout out to Cheyenne Arrington and Nick Coulter for donating their time to capturing the video and putting together this amazing video.
