A big part of our fundraising initiative for this year’s Community Service Awards involved exclusive Appomattox River Trail Experiences — an array of independently-led or guided Experiences that encourage your sense of adventure and appreciation for the river!
Thanks to the support of our local partners, these unique experiences combine outdoor adventure, river exploration, and more — all designed to celebrate and connect with the natural beauty of the Appomattox River.
Your participation not only secures your own Appomattox River Trail Experience Package, it also helps fund our mission to make these opportunities more accessible to the broader community.
