Crossing for KJ 2022

On October 15th, 2022, 14 individuals will be paddling the Catalina Channel. Some individually and some as a relay, but all putting in the hard work to honor a dear friend, cousin, brother, and co-worker, Kobe Jackson.

On August 25th, 2021, we tragically lost Kobe, and it is now that we have created this event in his honor. One of the things Kobe valued was his aquatics background making this paddle even more special.

We are asking for donations to help cover the event costs as well as to create the Crossing for Kobe Scholarship in the name of Kobe Jackson. Kobe was a cheerleader to all, and through this scholarship fund, Kobe can continue to cheer…cheering for those in aquatics, lifeguarding, and education.

We greatly appreciate any and all donations and support. As mentioned previously, the paddle will be taking place on October 15th. We plan to finish as a team paddling down the Los Alamitos channel together to the docks directly in front of Ballast Point in Long Beach. We will provide an update closer to the day of, but for now, please follow us on Instagram @crossing_for_kj for updates on fundraising, training, and the meet the team!
