Last year the Redwood Rafters brought home 25 gold medals from the 2025 National Rafting Championship held on the Trinity River, CA. We believe these hard-working kids deserve to compete on the world stage. Funds would be used to send our youth to France to compete in the 2026 Junior & U23 World Rafting Championship, and for the entire team to get to Nationals in Colorado!
Your purchase of a logo on the Redwood Rafters team jersey supports travel, training, and entry fees so paddlers can focus on the river, not the costs. Jerseys would be worn at training and races through 2027, including at Worlds in France and Nationals in Colorado!
River Night brings together the people, organizations, and businesses who love and protect Humboldt County’s six living rivers. From salmon and steelhead recovery to dam removal, watershed restoration, clean water advocacy, river science, outdoor recreation, and river-based careers — this night is about celebrating what our rivers give us and the community that has fought to protect them.
River Night was once an annual event in Arcata, CA and we are bringing back this beloved local celebration!
March 27, 6-9 PM

















The Redwood Rafters have gone above the mark in promoting rafting. They may not win all of the whitewater rafting events, but these teens have won our hearts when it comes to raft racing! They are also this quarters featured fundraising team! To nominate your Youth or Amateur Team email us at info@USARC.US

We raft on the traditional rivers of the Yurok, Karuk, Hoopa, Shasta and Klamath people. These indigenous people have lived, worked and played on these rivers, and along its banks since time immemorial. Today we pay our respect to these river elders both past and present and thank them for its use. May all have safe passage. Thank you also to our families and friends and volunteers who drive us to where we need to be, unload the cars as we sleep and love us win or lose.

Support our USARC Teams - help them get to National and World races in 2026!
