Aquarama 2008 raises $11,000 for Children’s Charities

Seventy-five riders were on hand to cut the waves at Aquarama on Sunday, August 17, raising over $11,000 to benefit Children’s Charities throughout Scugog. President Karl Herder took to the lake first for the traditional President’s Ride. Although our president may not have broken any speed records, he did break the highest pledge record with $1255 raised.

Joel Penny, of the Marine Dream Team was the fastest rider with a time of 69 seconds. Even though Mike Fleming of the April Fuels Fools team had the wettest and most entertaining of all the rides, his team managed a first place finish for fastest team.

A huge thank you is extended to all of the businesses in town who contributed enthusiastic teams on their behalf. Special thanks goes to John Mackey of Port Perry Marina who provides the Sea-Doos every year for Aquarama and spends the entire day in the water giving riders “correct”, safe driving instructions.

See you on the water next year!
