Unleash The Dragons~ Dragon Boat Festival & Leadership Camp

January 22, 2025 - January 25, 2025

Join us for “Unleash the Dragons” Dragon Boat Festival & Leadership Camp, where breast cancer and all cancer paddlers unite for two exhilarating days of racing on January 24-25! Preceding the festival, team leaders will sharpen their skills during leadership clinics on January 22-23. Expect to grow as paddlers, forge powerful connections, and celebrate the resilience of cancer Thrivers worldwide.

No need to fill a boat—paddlers register individually, creating a unique opportunity to paddle alongside survivors from different teams and backgrounds. Leaders will dive into festival planning, coaching, and team management, while also honing drumming and steering skills.

Let’s spread the love of paddling far and wide! Share this exciting event with cancer survivor paddlers everywhere, and let’s make an unforgettable impact together!
