The Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival Society’s 2009 SaveOn Festival generated a record $90,000 worth of donations for local benefactors.
The Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation was the recipient of $85,000. Another $5,000 was donated to the Nanaimo Hospice Foundation, making this the most successful year in the Festival’s history.
“The Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival Society is unique as it donates 100% of the net proceeds to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation to assist in improving the diagnostic-treatment process of breast cancer patients.”
Well done! The Festival Directors and volunteers, along with 75 participating dragon boat teams and thousands of devoted spectators are to be congratulated for their dedication to the festival and its goals.
