Our charitable partner:

Essentia Health Foundation

Let's put the power of the purpose behind your paddle this year in support of local cancer survivorship programs helping people from diagnosis to cancer freedom. Our goal is to celebrate survivorship by supporting patients emotionally, socially, physically and financially.

Whether you give an outright gift or are a paddler raising funds, you collaborate with us in developing and sustaining transformational programs, options in patient care, classes and networks designed especially to meet the needs of cancer survivors.

Visit our Donation Page or the Foundation's Dragon Boat Fundraising page to create your own personalized website to raise donations. You can make a donation to a team, a specific paddler or give a general gift to Essentia Health cancer survivorship.
