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....

VCKC Blue Herons

Island Breaststrokers

All money raised benefits the BC Cancer Foundation which directly supports BC Cancer Agency.  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!

Blazing Paddles!

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...

The teams fundraising for the BC Cancer Foundation at the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival have already smashed previous fundraising totals but if you'd like to help fund improved cancer care and research please go to one of the links above and help the teams out. 

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!)

Thanks,
Katy
