Kiteboarder's racing in the kite derby in Hood River, Oregon.

KB4C (Kiteboard 4 Cancer)

July 6-7, 2024 Hood River, OR

KB4C is the financial and historical foundation of Project Koru and one of the largest amateur kiteboarding events in America.

The KB4C is a 6 hour endurance race meant to challenge riders physically and mentally as a way to stand in support of Cancer Survivors. It is as much about harnessing the power of healing, as it is about harnessing the wind. It is through this exciting two day wind festival that Project Koru is able to change so many lives.

If you’ve never flown a kite or have no idea what kiteboarding is, you’re in good company! The one thing everyone who attends has in common? Purpose: to benefit lives affected by cancer through the power of the elements. 

Here are all the ways you can participate in KB4C:

  • Fundraise & ride in the derby 

  • Fundraise & come hang out on the lawn

  • Volunteer at the event

  • Donate a piece of art (Boards of Hope)

  • Donate to the auction 

  • Donate to the raffle 

  • Become a sponsor

You can learn more about KB4C and all the available opportunities through the KB4C website.
