July 12, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 93 Jesse’s Paddle Set For July 20 SNOW HILL – The 5th Annual “Jesse’s Paddle,” an on-the-water event to raise funds for the Jesse Klump Memorial Scholarship and the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program, is scheduled for Saturday, July 20. The event, which features canoe, kayak and paddleboard paddling, is in Snow Hill at the Pocomoke River Canoe Company and begins at 5 p.m. Boats go in the water by 5:30 p.m. “While ours are very serious missions,” said Jesse Klump Memorial Fund President Kim Klump, “on this day every year we remember fondly those we have lost to suicide with fun, food, auctions, prizes and live music. Every penny of the funds we raise is invested in suicide prevention education and scholarship.” A noncompetitive paddling event, Jesse’s Paddle provides boats at no charge to those paddlers who solicit pledges from their friends, colleagues and family members. There are three prizes for top pledge producers: A pontoon boat cruise on the Pocomoke for up to 10 guests; a Snow Hill weekend at The Cedars bed-and-breakfast, including a dinner coupon at the Harvest Moon Tavern and a coupon for canoeing or kayaking; and a 5th Generation iPOD. A form for collecting and registering pledges is available at www.jessespaddle.org, and boats can be reserved by calling the Pocomoke River Canoe Company at 410-632-3971. “Every paddler leaves Jesse’s Paddle with a prize,” said Fund Officer Ron Pilling, “and hopefully everyone leaves with new awareness of the threat of suicide in our seaside communities, where suicide rates are high.” The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund provides a scholarship each year to a member of the Snow Hill High School graduating class. In 2013, the value of the scholarship was $12,000, and the recipient is chosen for having demonstrated a willingness to put others ahead of him or herself. Information on the fund, the missions and Jesse’s Paddle is available by calling 443-982-2716 or visiting www.jessespaddle.org.
