On April 17, 2026, a devastating tornado struck Hideaway Marina in McFadden Cove on Kaw Lake, Ponca City, OK. The storm caused significant damage, destroying several docks and leaving the marina and its community facing a long road to recovery. The marina is a vital part of the local area, serving boat owners, slip renters, and providing jobs and services that many rely on.

This fundraiser is being organized by slip owners and community members who were not directly affected by the storm, but want to help. The marina owner did not ask for this fundraiser and is not involved or aware of it; this is a community-led effort to support a locally owned business that means so much to all of us.

The funds raised will go directly toward rebuilding the docks, supporting the dedicated staff, and restoring essential services for everyone who depends on the marina. Every dollar will help ensure that repairs are prompt and of the highest quality, so boat owners and slip renters can return to the water as soon as possible. Supporting this locally owned business means helping the entire community get back on its feet.

Your generosity will make a real difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster. Please consider contributing to help us rebuild and restore Hideaway Marina. Any support is deeply appreciated as we come together to recover and move forward.
