Genisys Sponsors Clinton River Race 8 Mile Canoe and Kayak Race Spanning Auburn Hills, Rochester, and Rochester Hills
AUBURN HILLS, MI (July 2, 2013) Genisys Credit Union, which provides services to anyone who lives or works in the Lower Peninsula, recently sponsored Paddlepalooza, an 8-mile canoe and kayak race, which started at Riverside Park in Auburn Hills and ended at Rivercrest Banquet Center in Rochester Hills.
“Paddlepalooza 2013 was another great chance for people in our area to get outside and experience the Clinton River first hand,” said Brian Marzolf, Recreation Director for the City of Auburn Hills. “The river is a great recreational resource and it’s right in our backyard!”
84 paddlers and 20 volunteers made the event possible. Participants had a chance to win various items donated by sponsors and supporters, such as duffle bags, paddle floats, waist packs, water bottles, apparel, and gift cards.
“Auburn Hills really enjoys partnering with Rochester Hills for this community event and looks forward to many more in the future,” Marzolf said.
“It is great to see the Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills communities come together to create a wonderful event on the river,” said Jackie Buchanan, President/CEO.
