Dragon Divas

We transform breast cancer survivors into thrivers as the Twin Cities only breast cancer survivor dragon boat racing team.

Our mission is to demonstrate that a full and active life is possible following a breast cancer diagnosis. Your donation can immediately impact a breast cancer survivor and move them from not only surviving but thriving.  Inspired by research demonstrating the health benefits of dragon boat racing for breast cancer survivors, we provide opportunities to flourish amongst an amazing group of survivors.

Donate to bolster our year-round education and awareness efforts related to early breast cancer detection and physical activity opportunities for competitive dragon boat paddling.

Our annual investments include:

     -  Physical training throughout the year with local and internationally-recognized trainers

     -  Scholarships for prospective and current members for dues and festival participation

     -  Educational material production & distribution

     -  Dragon boat coaches from Minnesota and North America

     -  Paddling-related coaching, equipment purchases, maintenance, storage and insurance

     -  Festival entry fees
