Inaugural Hart for Cayman Islands Hearts Coconut Cup paddleboard event
The inaugural Coconut Cup was held Sunday, March 4 2018 at Public Beach, SMB. Everything, including
the warm sun, cool breeze and calm sea, seemed to be in favor of a successful social and family-orientated paddleboard event; with a kids’ paddle (under 14s), a 16-team corporate cup relay event and an individual 1-mile paddle. From conception, the support from the event team to sponsors was very well received.
The event encouraged fitness, fun and asked participants and volunteers to consider the environment by
bringing reusable water containers. Fresh fruit and coffee were available to all, with Josh Clark form the
Farmacy chopping over 90 coconuts for thirsty team members and Smoothie King providing smoothies
for the little ones.
Cayman Heart Fund Director and Hart for Hearts programme founder, Mr. Ben Hart, who organized the
event, stated “Thank you to everyone that assisted in this event, it truly was a community initiative.
Without everyone there, without the energy you brought, the event would not have been anywhere near
a success as it was. We are already planning for next year!”
All proceeds benefit Hart for Hearts, the pediatric arm of the Cayman Heart Fund, which raises public
awareness and provides financial assistance to families in Cayman when their child is born with a
congenital heart defect.
