About Team: Causing a Stir

Every great movement starts by disrupting the status quo. On our team, we believe that some things are worth shaking up—and true inclusion is one of them. We called our crew "Causing a Stir" because we refuse to let the barriers that hold back our loved ones go unchallenged.

We aren't just out on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes for a scenic morning row. We paddle because every single stroke carries a shared belief that everyone deserves a place to play.

We Paddle For a Purpose

Our crew is bound together by the people we love, the stories we carry, and a commitment to doing the right thing.

• We paddle for our family members navigating severe illness and life-altering health challenges.

• We paddle for our friends whose lives changed in a heartbeat due to traumatic accidents, leaving them to navigate an inaccessible world.

• We paddle for the children and adults born with unique abilities—beautiful minds and bodies that deserve the exact same joys as anyone else.

• And we paddle for the community. Because a society is only as strong and vibrant as its willingness to lift up those who have been left on the sidelines.

When you support Team Causing a Stir, you are directly helping to build StirringWaters—the world's first 100% accessible aquatic park. Our goal is to raise $25,000 as a canoe, and every dollar you give proves that love, community, and inclusion win.
