Again this year our Primary Goal is the Charity Pledge Program for all Local Teams that wish to Participate in an effort to raise even more dollars for the Grand River Hospital Child Services Projects - or a new project primarily for Elmira and district teams - the new Elmira Recreational Centre.

In 2007 The Kiwanis Dragon Boat Festival produced enough income to purchase a high-tech Mother/Baby Childbirth Monitor for the Hospital.

We donated $160.000 alone from this pledge program towards special items.

As an incentive to participate in our Charity Pledging Program, we are offering prizes for:

1)The most dollars collected by pledges by a team.

2)The most dollars collected by pledges by an individual.

Now you'll have a chance to compete, have fun, and contribute to our community. This is the fourth year of a pledge program (similar to a walk-athon or bowl-athon) where you can collect pledges from co-workers and friends and raise money for the Grand River Hospital’s Childbirth Programs.

Or you can raise funds for the new Elmira Recreational Centre to be built on the old Race Track grounds in Elmira if that is your focus for your team. You'll have a chance to have your entry fee reduced or waived. And there will be great prizes - team and individual - for the top earners. (We're talking some major prizes here!) Many festivals raise over $100,000 this way each year. We'll keep it simple - your Team Captain or your Charities Captain will get and distribute pledge forms (you will also be able to download extras from the web site). You simply pick the Charity you want to support, collect the money, fill out the pledge forms and hand the money and paper back to your captain. Your captain will pass everything on to us, on or before race date. We'll look after the rest.

Local Teams – This year for 2008 each Team must raise at least $500 (less than $25 per team member!) to qualify for prizes;

Teams – raise $1,000 (less than $50 per team member!) and we’ll give back $250 of your registration fee;

raise $2,500 and we'd refund ALL of your registration fee!

Individuals – raise just $100 and you’ll get a top-quality Dragon Boat Festival T-shirt.

And we'll be committing some serious money to really good prizes – team and individual. In 2007 Normie's Spirit won a dinner for 25 at the Ben Thang Viet Thai Restaurant and the individual prize was a Blackberry Pearl won by Dale McFarlan. This is all on top of our usual great competition prizes!

Best wishes for a prosperous 2008. Paddles up!

Get ready to have a whole lot of FUN!
