Thank you to the Sunshine Dragon Abreast team who raised $350 for the Run for the Cure from the bake sale, which included homemade jam supplied by Jeanne Hage and a wine raffle donated by Darlene Kerfoot.

Thank you to Don MacKenzie for his ongoing support of the Sunshine Coast Dragon Boat Club. Don hosted the event and arranged for a hot dog sale with all proceeds to the local food bank.


The event could not have been held without the help of many volunteers including Allan and the dock crew, Dennis with his boat, the timers who sat in the rain all day, Linda Van Egdom for taking some great video, the Pender paddlers, Darlene and the rest of the committee, the steers people, all the coaches, Sally, Gill and Marla for setting up the teams and going out with them, Max for showing us how to tie up the boats safely, John for playing the bagpipes and most of all the paddlers for braving the weather. Thank you everyone for making this such a fun event.
