Established in 1994, the Calypso’s Cove Charity Go-Kart race seeks to raise money within the community for local organizations in need.

Since its inception, the Go-Kart race has raised over $200,000. 

This exciting event brings local businesses together to vie for the coveted trophy and to work together as a community for worthy causes. 

The Noonan family, sponsors and hosts of the event, cordially invites all to take part in this exciting event and celebrate the end of summer with the local community.

The 21st Annual Calypso’s Cove Charity Go-Kart Race will take place on Tuesday, September 9th.

This year’s beneficiaries are One Square Mile of Hope and Kids T Off.

One Square Mile of Hope is being held in Inlet on Saturday, September 13th.

This is the third time for this event, which was previously held in 2008 and 2011.

A full day of activities revolves around re-taking the Guinness World Record for the “Largest raft of canoes and kayaks” while raising over $100,000 for breast cancer research.

The principal beneficiary is The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, but a significant donation will be designated for a beneficiary in the Central New York area.

This year’s effort is being conducted in partnership with the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks.

Kid’s T Off provides scholarships to Town of Webb High School golf team seniors as well as sponsoring Kid’s Golf Camps and Adult Golf Clinics.
