WELCOME TO THE RIVER CITY DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL
Never Alone Cancer Foundation is proud to partner with the Manitoba Paddling Association to host one of the summer's biggest events: The River City Dragon Boat Festival! This year’s festival will be held on Sunday, June 2nd at The Manitoba Canoe and Kayak Centre, 80 Churchill Drive. Dragon boating is one of Winnipeg's most popular summer events, and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of it!
This event is a FUNdraiser for the Never Alone Cancer Foundation, a Winnipeg based not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by cancer in our community. Many people do not realize the financial hardships that accompany a cancer diagnosis. Without benefits, a cancer diagnosis leaves many unable to work or even care for their children because they are too ill. No one should ever have to make the decision between groceries or the cost of gas and parking to get to their treatments.
All funds raised stay in Manitoba. We suggest that each team raise a minimum of $1,500 which is only $150 per paddler.
