Summary
In late August and early September 2009, Ken Bruland undertook a solo kayak journey promoted as Paddle for Food to raise funds and awareness for the Beaver Island Christian Church Food Pantry. Forum updates reported his departure from Beaver Island, progress through the archipelago, and arrival at Prentiss Bay on September 10 after an 85-mile journey, followed by a planned additional paddle and kayaking symposium.
Evidence limits
The record is based on organizer and progress posts that link to external updates. It does not establish donation totals, a complete route or map, or the final completion of the additional leg.

- Posts announced Ken Bruland's solo paddle, donation channels, and online progress updates, then reported his September 10 arrival at Prentiss Bay after an 85-mile journey, with a planned additional round trip to Government Island and a kayaking symposium. The linked photos, video, map, and donation totals are not preserved locally, so the forum documents the organized appeal and reported itinerary rather than audited fundraising results.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 01 · t001874
- The Center announced a Sunday dinner presentation by Ken Bruland about Paddle for Food. This is an event notice and does not add audited donations or independently verify the journey beyond the contemporaneous forum progress record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 01 · t001972
