Dragon Boat Races Raise $20,000 for Veterans
Posted May 29, 2015
The Paddle for Life Dragon Boat Festival held Memorial Day Weekend at Vancouver Lake raised over $20,000 for the Vancouver Lake Disabled Veterans Program. Nineteen clubs from Portland and Vancouver enjoyed great racing at this two day regatta. In the three years of the event nearly $40,000 has been raised. Proceeds go to the Vancouver Lake Aquatics Center (formerly Vancouver Lake Crew) to buy adaptive equipment for disabled veterans and to make critical infrastructure repairs.
