Join us for a festive fundraiser just in time for the Pawlidays! What does it look like when dozens of Santas paddle out on Westhaven Lake together? What would Saint Nick think of supporting compassionate and humane treatment of animals? Let's gather for a festive paddle and lend a helping paw this holiday season. 

All registration funds directly benefit Friends of Willliamson County Animal Center.

BENEFITING

    • All participants must register here prior to the Santa Paddle. All registration fees directly benefit FoWCAC!

    • You can choose Basic Registration (BYO watercraft) or All-Inclusive (we provide your paddleboard, canoe, or kayak). If you want to support, but stay dry, you can choose the Santa Strut option. 

    • All registration options include a commemorative Santa hat and cookies & cocoa after the paddle. 

    • All participants must wear a Santa suit or all red clothing. You'll receive your commemorative Santa hat onsite.

    • At 1:45, all participants will gather at the Paddle Dog patio (1006 Westhaven Blvd, Franklin, TN 37064). 

    • At 2:00, we'll begin the Santa Strut around the lake. You're welcome to bring your pup for this part - just be sure you have a plan for them once it's time to hit the water. We'll complete one lap around the lake. 

    • After the Strut, all paddlers will board their watercraft and begin the paddle to the jingling tune of fun Santa songs. Paddle away, and be courteous to fellow paddlers. Have fun! 

    • After a short paddle, we'll ring in the Santas for a well-earned cookie & cocoa break. Enjoy the rest of the festival!
