Sinopec Dragon Boat Charity Race
Starting in 2011, the CDBS created the Dragon Boat Charity Race to help raise awareness & funds for a selected non-profit organization from the community of Calgary.
Each year, +100 participants from all levels of government, business and community, experience the spirit of Dragon Boating by paddling in race of 5 teams, while helping to raise awareness and funds for the Charity Race Recipient.
The Board of Directors are extremely proud to announce that this year’s Charity Recipient is the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary (AFCC).
Their mission is to provide Indigenous cultural connection through programs and services for the urban population.
WELCOME ON BOARD!!!
