Funds raised by Paddlefest are used to:

1) Organize and manage the Kids Outdoor Adventure Expo, the largest water safety and environmental education event for children and teens in the Midwest. Over 4,000 children ages 5-16 have participated in the EXPO over the past four years. Nearly 3,000 are expected to participate in the 5th Annual EXPO on June 24, 2010 at Coney Island.

2) Promote the Ohio River Hike & Bike Trail. The Ohio River Way, Inc. is leading the effort to raise funds to complete the Trail from Newtown to downtown Cincinnati.

3) Promote the Ohio River Water Trail. The Ohio River Way, Inc. has printed and distributed 25,000 copies of its "Boaters Guide to the Ohio River Water Trail" and is promoting a "No Wake Zone" designation for the Ohio between the Taylor Southgate Bridge and the Brent Spence Bridge to enhance boater safety.
