Over the years there has been one constant, the need
for funding.
With teams in the Open, Mixed and Youth categories, it is a monumental
task to field competitive teams, let alone get them to the Championship races. All coaches and athletes are amateur and need
to fund their own way. If there is an inability to do so, it compromises the team and its ability to effectively compete.
Competing and winning are keys to the program's ability to continue introducing the river
to those who may otherwise never have a chance to do so.
Through our efforts with the youth
team, in particular, there are youngsters that are gaining experiences in physical activity, teamwork and sportsmanship while
experiencing a natural resource within Philadelphia, the Schuylkill River, that they may never had experienced otherwise.
The Primary objective of the Manayunk Dragon Boat Racing Team is to continue introducing
the sport of Dragon Boat Racing along with your support.
