Month of Giving – November 2021

Month of Giving

15% of 2022 Rafting Trips & Gift Certificate Sales made in November will go local non-profits!

Rivers are not only meant for white water rafting, but are an essential part of our history, ecology, society, and more. Protecting these rivers is no easy task, there are a multitude of amazing non-profits and local communities that make this their mission.

Without these organizations – life, and our rivers, would be a lot different. This holiday season, we want to give back to local non-profits thru our Month of Giving. Throughout the month of November we are donating 15% of sales to either the South Yuba River Citizens League (aka SYRCL) or Protect American River Canyons (aka PARC).

With 3 forks, the South, Middle, and North Forks of the American River, these folks have a few canyons to protect. PARC helps unite hikers, rafters, kayakers, horse trail riders, mountain bikers and river lovers in a common cause. Multi-use trails and recreation areas are a must for our community, and these folks are committed to keeping it that way.

Why are we doing this? 

Because We Love Rivers

We were all raised in different places, at different times, with different cultures – but here we are. We have been brought together by our love of the river. This is the Tributary/Raft California & Oregon Team – we run commercial rafting trips in California and Oregon and enjoy all that the rivers provide. Sharing these places, and having fun is our top priority. Please come join us and let us show you some amazing places!
