Boaters, Sponsors, and a Cause

Our Mission

The Lake Powell Challenge brings sponsors and participants together at Antelope Point Marina to help find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes, preserve beautiful Lake Powell, and support local youth through the Antelope Point Marina Scholarship Fund.

Proceeds from the event are directed toward these three causes, with each year building on the participation and generosity of the previous one. The Challenge has been held annually to rally boaters, families, and donors around a shared commitment to the lake and its surrounding community.

The Lake Powell Challenge is an annual gathering that transforms Antelope Point Marina into a meeting place for sponsors, boaters, and supporters who share a love for one of the Southwest's most iconic waterways. The event weaves together recreation and responsibility, inviting families and watercraft enthusiasts to take part in a collective show of commitment to its surrounding community and the future of the lake itself. Each year, the Challenge builds on the participation and generosity of those who came before, turning a single weekend on the water into a renewed pledge to preserve a treasured landscape for generations to come.

Beyond the wake and the open horizon, the Challenge channels its proceeds toward meaningful causes that touch the region directly. Funds raised support the search for a cure for juvenile diabetes, helping advance research while raising awareness about a condition that affects young people and their families. Contributions also strengthen efforts to preserve the natural beauty and ecological health of Lake Powell, ensuring that its shoreline, waters, and wildlife remain accessible and protected. Together, these efforts connect a recreational tradition to lasting humanitarian and conservation outcomes that extend well beyond the marina.

The scholarship fund established through the Challenge reflects a belief that local youth deserve opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with the environment around them. By directing event proceeds toward education, the organizers invest in the next generation of caretakers, scientists, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts who will carry the stewardship of the lake forward. Participants who contribute, volunteer, or gather at the marina become part of a broader story in which recreation and responsibility are linked, and where the simple act of showing up on the water helps fund futures, protect a landmark, and honor a community that has long called the lake home.
