Dragon Boat Raceday is in its 12th year!

We are an all volunteer non profit organization raising money to assist local families battling cancer.

Anyone can compete in this event. Put together a team of friends and we will coach you to paddle like a pro! Each team will compete in three heats. There are many other events going on in the park on race day and it all helps a good cause - your Beaufort County neighbors battling cancer. Many thanks to all our sponsors for helping to make this event a success.

Dragonboat Race Day is when dozens of community businesses, civic organizations and clubs form teams to race 42-foot dragonboats in front of the seawall at Henry Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort, South Carolina. It’s for a great cause – supporting DragonBoat Beaufort’s cancer survivor mission:

“Through the physical competition of dragonboat racing and the strength of camaraderie, DragonBoat Beaufort aims to provide cancer survivors with a total sense of wellness.

Additionally, our OUTREACH Program supports individual cancer patients who live, work or are treated in Beaufort County with needs they cannot afford or for which they lack coverage.”
