Guardian Angel Benefit 2025 Paddles

Photos Posted on October 23rd, 2025

Two of our members painted beautiful paddles as a team donation for the silent auction held at the Guardian Angel Benefit on October 19, 2025. All funds raised through the Guardian Angel Benefit stay in Manitoba to help women facing a lifechanging cancer diagnosis now or in the future by supporting research, clinical trials as well as ensure the best possible physical and emotional care.

Thank you to Micheline Girard (polar bear with wings) and Vicki Young (dragon overlooking the river) who were the artists of these spectacular paddles. You ladies did a marvelous job, and your creativity is just unbelievable. Alongside each paddle was a description of our team and why we paint paddles.
