Title: Karma for the long weekend and upcoming races Post by: Katy on July 28, 2011, 10:00:10 AM Hi guys,
The number of Victoria teams participating in the BC Cancer Foundation pledge drive for the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival is now up to 8 and we're on pace to smash previous fundraising totals. The teams are now in the home stretch for fundraising so if you have some spare cash and can help them out please go to the following links....

As a cancer researcher I know how important community-based fundraising is in furthering research and improving patient care. Please consider helping out one of these fine teams and if you're a Victoria crew, consider joining us for the pledge drive next year, it's really easy to do! Thanks for your support, have a great long weekend!

Last year you were the highest or second-highest fundraisers for this drive. You kicked ass! This year however your entire team is showing fifty bucks. FIFTY??? For a team that in the past raised thousands of dollars for BC Cancer Foundation, that's just pathetic. Come on, give us a challenge! You're better than this, much better! To any non-Blazing Paddles reading this, find their link above and consider helping them out. Of course you're more than welcome to make a tax-deductible contribution through Navy's link too... Rob.

Every little bit helps! Current standings for the teams (not including any unprocessed off-line donations)... VCKC Blue Herons - $285 Island Breaststrokers - $3640 Telus Horsepower - $620 Paddlers of the Fifth Moon - $21,695 Snappin' Dragons - $11,008 Chateau Bateau - $4848 Navy Dragon Anchors - $2930 Blazing Paddles $2375 That's over $47,400 so far in addition to funds raised in the Lights of Courage Campaign (all the laterns you see down at the site). We have until the end of the weekend to raise funds, just go to the links at the start of the post, pick a team and let's see if the paddlers can raise $50K! (last year we only had 3 teams participating and raised $30,500 so this is awesome!)
