Proudly presented by the Rotary Club of Youngtown, Soggy Bottom started in 2017 with the aim to provide the local community with a free family fun day out while raising funds for local charities. Over these four years (two year break due to COVID) we have raised over $40k for local charities. This event has evolved over the years to continue to empower children, youth and adults in the water races plus children and youth in on-shore fun activities, while fundraising for local charities.
This year’s event continues to empower people of all ages in our the community through boat building and boat paddling comradery while fundraising for local charities supporting young people facing challenges.
Get involved or donate today to make a difference to local youth in our community.
