I’m participating in The Friendship Paddle 2026 to support Scott Miners and his family.

Scott is a husband, father, surfer, volunteer, and longtime Santa Barbara community member. In 2021, he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. After years of treatment, his cancer has progressed to Stage 4.

Even while facing his own diagnosis, Scott has continued to show up for others. He has volunteered with Meals on Wheels, built friendships through the Cancer Center community, and supported the Friendship Paddle family itself. Last year, while quietly fighting his own battle, Scott paddled, encouraged, and supported another honoree.

Now it is our turn to show up for Scott.

Every donation helps surround Scott, Jenn, Kira, and Caleb with financial and emotional support during an incredibly difficult chapter. Your gift helps ease the burden of treatment, lost work, and the day-to-day weight that cancer places on a family.

Please donate what you can and share this page with friends, family, and anyone who may want to support Scott.  The Friendship Paddle is a 501(c)(3), and all donations are counted as charitable donations.  100% of all donations go to the family.

Thank you for helping us support Scott and his family.
