FUNDRAISING |
Without our sponsors and fundraising, the Lure of the Dragons Race + Festival would not be possible. Through your generous giving, we will be able improve the quality of life for children and youth.
PADDLERS
We encourage each paddler to set a minimum fundraising goal of $166.00. Pledges are raised in the same way as a 5K run, walkathon or other charity race. You may dedicate all or a portion of your pledges to the beneficiaries chosen by the Dragon Boat Race and Festival Board, or you may choose to dedicate the proceeds you raise to your favorite charity that benefits children. The choice is yours!! We appreciate your participation and your heart for children!!
SPONSORSHIPS
Corporate and media sponsors provide the financial foundation for our charitable dragon boat race and festival.
More than 70 dragon boat festivals throughout the United States have proven to be excellent opportunities for businesses to demonstrate their community support and advance their image and products or services through pre-event advertising and promotion, as well as day-of-the race advertising to 2500+ race participants and spectators. |
