Dragon Boat Charleston

Cancer happens all year round. Know your body and report any unusual changes to your provider. And remember, exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of developing certain cancers, including breast, colorectal, prostate, liver, lung, and many more.

The flower ceremony is always a fav! This is most of our team after our last race at the event. Two are missing because they were in the boats on the water, representing those with metastatic disease.

DBC'S breast cancer team, Paddles and Pearls, is adding a little Charleston swing to the the Parade of Nations! Our paddling timing is much better than our dancing, but we are tres elegante in our flapper regalia. Thank you to Scott, Rosa, Joe, John, Jeff, Sterling, and all the other supporters celebrating with us in Aix-Les-Bains. We couldn’t do it without you!

We’re so excited!!! Paddles and Pearls is DBC’s breast cancer team and we’re thrilled to join our international sisters on the water!

We had a great time at Palmetto Life this morning sharing our story and excitement about our next adventure! Our breast cancer team, Paddles and Pearls, is headed to France to join thousands of our brothers and sisters from all over the world!

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission progams!

Bronze Bling for the Awakened Dragons, our all-cancer survivor team! This weekend's race at the Oriental Dragon Boat Race and Festival was a nail-biter! Once again, the Awakened Dragons was the only all-female team in the ACS division. Cheers to another race in the books.

As always, thank you to our community of supporters. Without you, our survivors wouldn't have opportunities like this to show their inner strength!
