Never Alone Cancer Foundation is proud to partner with the Manitoba Paddling Association to host The September Dragon Boat Festival! This fabulous and fun event takes place on Sunday, September 8th at The Manitoba Canoe & 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!
The festival is a FUNdraiser for the Never Alone Cancer Foundation, a Winnipeg based not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing emotional, financial, and informational support to patients, families and caregivers affected by cancer. 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 to help cancer patients and their families. We suggest each team raise a minimum of $1,500, just $150 per paddler, to help cancer patients in our community.
