About Us

The Annapolis Dragon Boat Club is run by the Annapolis Dragon Boat Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Our mission is to promote the development of healthy bodies and spirits, support recovery from breast cancer and all other cancers, and grow friendships and teamwork.

We promote and develop dragon boating to build physical strength, endurance, and confidence with an emphasis on recreation, synchrony, and harmony while on the water.

The club was founded in the spring of 2010 by Annapolitan, entrepreneur, and breast cancer survivor Mike Ashford. From a handful of supporters, we have grown to over 100 members. More than half of our members are breast cancer survivors. One man’s generosity and leadership became a source of strength, renewal, and friendship for the many who followed him.

About the Event

When you give to the Annapolis Dragon Boat Club, you support those in our community affected by breast cancer. One in eight women will receive the devastating news of breast cancer diagnosis. Our club brings hope through comradery and exercise on the water. The motion of paddling has been proven to stave off or alleviate lymphedema, a debilitating side effect of breast cancer treatment. 

We hope our third annual Dragonfest will bring a greater awareness of the club and the benefits of dragon boating to the community, enabling us to reach a larger number of survivors and their families. Please support our cause and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.

All proceeds support breast cancer outreach and club operations. Donations are greatly appreciated! For more information, visit our website: annapolisdragonboatclub.org.
