Rooted in Purpose.
The 20th Anniversary of
Kiteboard 4 Cancer
July 10-12, 2026
Twenty years ago, three local kiteboarders launched an idea on the Columbia River: that wind, water, and community could change lives. Today, Kiteboard 4 Cancer continues that tradition, in a renewed chapter dedicated to strengthening the Gorge community.
The 20th Anniversary of Kiteboard 4 Cancer
For over twenty years, Kiteboard 4 Cancer has united the Gorge community to turn wind, water, and collective generosity into meaningful impact. What began as a grassroots gathering of riders determined to help those facing cancer has grown into one of the region’s most inspiring traditions.
This year, KB4C enters a new chapter — reconnecting with its founding roots while broadening the ways it supports the Gorge community. By rallying around multiple local organizations doing vital work, the event continues to grow its impact while staying true to the purpose that started it all.
