“We as a community raised $2158 for them which was incredible!! This was the first time
we’ve ever held an event like this and we’re absolutely blown away by how people showed up and supported them.” said Emily Hoogsteen, Kawartha Home Hardware Group. “It really encouraged us to keep hosting these events and finding more ways that we can help but not only that how many amazing people we have in our community!”
The Dragon Flies Breast Cancer Survivor Group formed in the fall of 2002. Members come from all walks of life to enjoy social and emotional benefits as well as a physical sense of well-being in a team atmosphere. This group uses the sport of dragon boating as their major activity to encourage and maintain a healthy life style during and following the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
Its mission is to raise public awareness about breast cancer and the achievement of living full and active lives following a diagnosis of breast cancer through dragon boating as well as other wellness programs and to raise funds in support of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment at local hospitals.
