Witches on the Lake: A Bewitching Benefit for Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance

Some events just feel enchanted from the first “whoosh.” Witches on the Lake is one of them—a joyful, costumed gathering on Folsom Lake where paddlers (and shore-side fans) come together to raise funds for Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance. Mark your cauldron—er, calendar—for October 18th and get ready for a heartwarming spectacle with serious impact.

What to expect: a flotilla of “witches” on paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes; cheering sections along the shore; and a swirl of photo ops you’ll revisit all season. It’s Halloween fun with purpose: every registration for Witches on the Lake fuels Keaton’s hands-on support for local children and families navigating childhood cancer—think financial assistance, family services, and compassionate care coordination when life gets most complicated.

How to join the magic

• Paddle Participant: Bring your board/kayak/canoe, life jacket, and hat. Register, sign the waiver, and set up a personal fundraising page (two minutes, tops).
• Shore Supporter: Don’t paddle? Don’t worry. Cheer, donate, and snap pics from designated viewing areas.
• Sponsor: Amplify the mission with a business sponsorship and optional matching gift—great visibility, greater impact.

Costume & safety tips

• Go whimsical but water-safe: secure hats/wigs, avoid tripping hems, and wear a PFD.
• Black & purple always slay, but reflective pieces make dusk photos pop.
• Layer up; lakes get breezy. A thin base layer under the cape = cozy.

This is the kind of October memory that sticks: laughter on the water, capes in the wind, and a community rallying for kids who deserve every good thing. Ready to ride the tide for a cause?
