Great Cardboard Boat Race raises over $170,000 for Crossroads United Way
ELKHART — The Great Cardboard Boat Race presented by NIBCO made waves with its most successful year yet. A record 71 boats competed at the LaSalle Bristol Pond in Welch Packaging corrugated cardboard boats, and thanks to the generosity of teams, donors and sponsors, the event raised over $170,000 to support families across Elkhart, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties. 'This year's race was nothing short of incredible,' said Bill Purcell, president and CEO of Crossroads United Way. 'The record-breaking fundraising and turnout show just how committed our community is to coming together, having fun and making a real difference for local families.' The racing competition was fierce and fun, with the Bristol Fire Department's 'Boat Jovi Slippery When Wet' taking first place overall. Second place went to Welch Packaging's 'Yellow Submarine,' followed by Utilimaster's 'Whip It' in third. Fourth place was claimed by Welch Packaging's 'Margaritaville,' with Indiana Michigan Power's 'A Sea D Sea' in fifth. Alliance's 'Aquaholics' captured sixth, Goshen Health's 'Vital Signs' came in seventh, and Newmar's 'Back in Black' rounded out the top eight. The Bristol Fire Department also took home top honors in the special First Responders Race, while NIBCO's 'Redneck Yacht Club' received the coveted Cardboard Crusader Award. Special recognition also went to several standout boats in the Judges' Choice categories. The United Way Design Award was presented to Grand Design's 'Jumpin' Jack Splash,' while the Judges' Overall Choice Award went to Alliance RV's 'Iron Maiden.' Fundraising was a highlight of the day as well. LaSalle Bristol earned the award for the most dollars raised, while Winnebago Industries and Grand Design's 'Jumpin' Jack Splash' captured the award for the most individual donors. Finally, in one of the most spirited traditions of the race, the 'Wonder that Went Down Under' award for the best sink was given to Ben's Pretzels.
