The Styrofoam Cup is
back! Warren Wilson College (WWC)
is again hosting the Southeastern Intercollegiate slalom and rodeo
championships. This year WWC is holding
the 7th Styrofoam Cup in conjunction with the 37th
Southeastern Wildwater Championships.
The 2005 Styrofoam
Cup will be held April 23 and 24, 2005 at the Nantahala Outdoor
Center (NOC) near Bryson City, NC. This venue includes ample parking,
excellent spectating venues,
reliable water, and facilities in which to conduct the raffle and
award ceremonies. The two-day event will
include a slalom race, freestyle through a rapid exhibition rodeo competition,
wildwater classic race, and Boater-X race through the falls of the
But the higher
purpose of our event is to help fundraise for American Whitewater (AW)
and to support AW’s continued efforts of conserving and restoring our American
whitewater rivers. We are hosting a
raffle with all profits donated to AW.
We have some wonderful prizes donated from our sponsors, including the
new Liquidlogic Vision 56, so everyone wins!
* To purchase raffle tickets, please contact
the email below with your name, address, and phone number, or they can be
bought on raceday (Saturday), up until the drawing.*
We will be accepting donations of any kind. So dig deep, donate from the heart, and help us support the very important work of American Whitewater.
I hope you will take advantage of these opportunities in
support of our intercollegiate athletes and AW.
