The 7th annual Swim and Paddle the South River is Crossing Currents Aquatic's annual fundraiser to benefit Arundel Rivers Federation and LiveWater Foundation.
Arundel Rivers Federation Mission:
Arundel Rivers Federation was created on January 2, 2019 and is the result of the consolidation of South River Federation and West Rhode Riverkeeper, Inc. Our mission is to protect, preserve, and restore the South, West, and Rhode Rivers by working with local communities to achieve clean, fishable, and swimmable waterways for present and future generations. We are devoted to protecting and restoring a very special place – the South, West, and Rhode Rivers of Anne Arundel County. We use a science-driven, community-based approach to improve the water quality of our rivers – and we’re not afraid to get our boots muddy. We pursue thoughtful restoration strategies to make our rivers and creeks safe for swimming and boating and to protect natural resources like fish, oysters and crabs. Our stream, wetland and shoreline projects create wildlife habitat, reduce flooding and help stop stormwater pollution. The South, West, and Rhode Riverkeeper acts as the eyes, ears and voices for our local Rivers. Our organization is wholly focused on achieving our vision of clean, healthy, sustaining waterways for our local communities.
LiveWater Mission:
Livewater Foundation is a dedicated group of paddle enthusiasts who are passionate about giving back to the community by facilitating watersports programs and keeping our waterways clean.
Established in 2017, Live Water Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Annapolis, MD, was formed to expand on the signature community give-back programs of the team at Capital SUP. Live Water Foundation currently supports three initiatives within the Veteran community, underprivileged and disabled youth, and promoting clean waterways. Live Water Foundation team aspires to create “Positive Vibes” within the Veteran community, inspire underprivileged and disabled youth to become future leaders, be champions in enhancing the waterways in which we paddle, and inspire a lifestyle of health and wellness through watersports activities.
