Premier Breast Strokes
Premier Rehab and Healthcare at Burlington, is a nursing and rehabilitation center that offers a wide array of services to ensure our residents receive the medical care they need, the restorative therapy they require, and the support they deserve. We serve a wide range of patient and resident needs – from short-term rehab to traditional long-term care. Our staff are thrilled to be participating in our FIRST Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival! Paddle Strong, Paddle Together! You can't beat these dragons!
Pull Together
Captain Baki says: “I joined the First Congregational Church in Burlington in 2017 and summer of that year for the first time I was introduced to Dragonheart VT by Thea Knight, and she recruited me to paddle for the church team; PULL TOGETHER. I so much enjoyed the sport but much more than that I was touched by the mission of DHVT and support of BCS. My grandmother was a breast cancer survivor and so is my mother. So, I met with John Dyer and joined the family of DHVT .” Our church is passionate about investing in downtown Burlington, and sees the festival as a perfect way to support a good cause as well as our community all while having fun together. Our team, PULL TOGETHER FIRST CHURCH, has participated in the festival for several years. We've even won some trophies along the way! This year we are excited to include Lake Champlain Dragonboat Festival on a whole slate of waterfront activities! We are honored to be part of a community that supports this great cause, helping cancer survivors to live with hope and get the treatment they need.
Rhythm & Blues
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont’s Rhythm and Blues team will rock (but hopefully not roll!) through the waves to victory, paddling toward a healthier Vermont! Our goal is to make the competition sing the “blues” and help find a cure for breast cancer. Come race day, we’ll be paddlin’ with rhythm.
UVM Rally Against Cancer
We are excited to join the fun and fundraising for the Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival. Come see us splashing our way to the finish line on August 3rd! Your sponsorship directly supports local cancer charities, including Sail Beyond Cancer VT and Dragonheart VT. Be part of a community-wide event that raises funds and awareness for cancer patients and their families. Includes members of the VHFA team.
