A Note from the Duluth Boat Club 
Duluth Boat Club logo01 Paddle more, paddle faster, get in better shape and have more fun this summer starting April 28. The Duluth Boat Club's paddling program is holding a free pre-season event for any paddler or team interested in dragon boating. It's open to everyone, no matter what your level of interest or competitiveness. 

Activities include:

  • Presentation on the DBC's paddling program and a chance to sign up for summer fun.
  • Opportunity to meet the captains and members of the Invincibles, the DBC's competitive team open to anyone who wants to paddle and get involved in dragon boating at any level. The team has a goal of forming two teams for the festival and traveling to other festivals.
  • Group exercise session with a personal trainer who has paddled competitively, focusing on paddling-specific workouts.

This event is free! It will be at 3 p.m. April 28 at the Billings Park Civic Club, 3909 N. 18th Street, Superior.

I am excited to share some of the things that the Cancer Center is working on with the $75,000 raised last year for Survivorship programs and services:

 

* Creating an Essentia Health Cancer Survivorship Symposium (Coming March 2014!)

* Adding dietary instruction and education materials for cancer survivors

* Expanding 24/7 access of electronic tools for all patients

* Supporting an oncology rehabilitation program for patients

The power of the paddle is mighty and even more powerful when we work together!  Just think - if each of the 100 teams we had in 2012 raised just $1,000 (that's $50 per paddler) we would raise over $100,000 for cancer survivor programs!

If you are new to fundraising or just want some ideas I am here to offer my help and resources to assist you!  I hope to hear from you soon!  [email protected] or call me at 218-786-1062.  
There will be prizes again for individual paddlers and teams so stay tuned and thank you for all that you do!
