Celebrating 25 Years of Community Betterment!
Rooted in a love for community and life on the St. Lawrence River, the Alexandria Bay Chapter of The Foundation for Community Betterment has been creating ripples of kindness since 2001. That summer, we launched our first Paddle for Betterment, now a cherished “River Rat” tradition in the heart of the 1000 Islands. Through volunteerism, fundraising, and community spirit, our chapter continues to bring people together and create lasting local impact—spreading the Ripple Effect of Kindness one act at a time. 🌊

|
Each July, families, friends, and individuals from near and far come together to Paddle for Betterment—now a beloved St. Lawrence River tradition! Whether in kayaks, canoes, skiffs, or on stand-up paddle boards, participants of all ages “raise their paddles” for a morning of fun in the sun and to help create the powerful Ripple Effect we call Betterment. Our iconic local fireboat kicks off the event with a celebratory spray of water, signaling the start of the paddle promptly at 9 AM. From there, paddlers cruise the scenic shores of Alexandria Bay, enjoying breathtaking views of the Thousand Islands—including Boldt Castle and passing freighters—while collecting cards for their poker hand. Incredible GRAND PRIZES are awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in both Adult and Youth Divisions—and all paddlers are eligible for a door prize, too! We’re very proud to carry on this meaningful event in memory of Carolyn Curley—our event founder, a driving force behind our chapter, an avid paddler and a passionate believer in the mission of Betterment. Her legacy continues to shape and inspire our community of volunteers.

In Loving Memory of John N. Russell
John N. “Big John” Russell was a lifelong steward of the Thousand Islands and a defining presence throughout the region. A proud “River Rat,” John was raised in northern New York and devoted nearly his entire life to the river, its people, and its traditions.
Known for his warm greetings at Pine Tree Point and Bonnie Castle Resort, John played a central role in shaping the community of Alexandria Bay and its surrounding areas. He chaired the Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce for many years and was twice honored as Citizen of the Year. Among his enduring legacies are several familiar local traditions that continue to define the Thousand Islands experience, including the Alexandria Bay Boat Show, the Blessing of the Fleet, and the Independence Day Boldt Castle Fireworks.

An avid tennis player, John embraced the game with enthusiasm and generosity, fostering friendship and camaraderie both on and off the court. His love for the sport lives on through the John N. Russell Memorial Doubles Tennis Tournament, where family and friends continue to celebrate his enduring spirit.
Equally important was John’s steadfast support of the Foundation for Community Betterment, actively participating in paddle events and advancing its “Ripple Effect” mission through action, encouragement, and example. His legacy flows on through the River he loved, the community traditions he built, and the lives he touched. |
