Dragons Abreast Melbourne Pink Phoenix, Dragons Abreast Gippsland Waratahs and Dragons Abreast Geelong Juggernauts are hosting a Pink Sports Day in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) on the weekend of Sat Sep 23/Sun Sep 24, 2023.
Thank you for getting involved in our fundraising and helping BCNA to inform, support, connect and represent all Australians affected by breast cancer.

Dragons Abreast Australia crews are made up of Breast Cancer survivors and their supporters, so supporting BCNA is a cause very close to our hearts. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women with one in seven diagnosed in their lifetime. Over 20,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year as well as over 170 men.
Your support will help these women, men and families to not go through their journey alone.

On this weekend at our regular training sessions, we'll fundraise for BCNA by:

1. Wearing all BCNA PINK merchandise gear, purchased from BCNA
2. DA Melbourne will be conducting a Pink Cake Stall to fundraise from other dragon boat teams present & the general public, with BCNA Donation Tins available as well
3. DA Gippsland will be selling BCNA merchandise and running a raffle at the Howitt Park Market Bairnsdale 8-12 noon.
4. DA Geelong will be Pinking up and paddling on the Barwon river wearing BCNA merchandise.
5. During the lead up to the Pink Sports Day, all crews will employ our social media sites to promote this fundraiser, which will include a direct link to a BCNA donation portal, which will tally our donation amount.

Our club's fundraising target is $1,000, so let's get this going!!!
Please SHARE SHARE SHARE the fundraising portal link to your personal socials at least once/week up until our Pink Sports Day and let's blow past this target amount!!!
Come on teams!!! Are you Ready? Attention….. Goooooo!!!

A big day out for the Waratahs at the Howitt Park Market. Terrific weather ensured lots of foot traffic past our display. It was great to meet enthusiastic members of the public interested in Dragon Boating and keen to come and have a go. We welcomed three dragon passes into the boat in our after market paddle. 🐉 🐉 🛶
Congratulations to Kirsty the winnner of our fresh food hamper. Thanks to Aldi and Kmart for their contributions to our hamper. We also sold plenty of BCNA Merch!! 💖🐲💕

We are thrilled to be able to support BCNA by doing what we do best- PADDLING!!
Our members have experienced first hand the support and information that BCNA provides to Breast Cancer Survivors. It really made a difference as part of our recovery to be treated as an individual and not just as another statistic. We hope to raise awareness and funds on our Dragons Abreast Pink Sports Day next week 💖🐲🔥
