The Dragon Boat Upstate Festival is an annual community-sponsored event. Inspired by other national and international Dragon Boat festivals, the Dragon Boat Upstate Festival combines outdoor fun with public service. Everyone can participate, as well as spectate:
• To bring an exciting new sport to Greenville and the Upstate area… a fun sport everyone can try, no matter how old you are or how fit you are.
• To provide an opportunity for companies and civic organizations to build unity through teamwork.
• To enhance the quality of life in the Upstate with a fun- filled water festival for all ages.
• To raise funds for charities and community projects.
The 2008 beneficiary is the Cancer Research & Care Center of the Greenville Hospital System. http://www.ghs.org/
This year’s theme is “Paddle as if your life depends on it”. We all can help the Cancer Research Center in the fight against cancer.
