Paddles up! Ready, Ready, take it away!
The Burlington, Vermont, Waterfront was buzzing with excitement on Sunday, August 8 as I participated in the 5th Annual Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival and races. An enthusiastic crowd looked on as 75 teams raced all day long to raise money for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta and Dragonheart Vermont. This was my second experience as part of the PC Construction team.
It’s an important event for me as cancer has touched the lives of several of my family members and friends. Not only does this event raise money to help those diagnosed with cancer, but it’s also a great way to bond with your co-workers and give back to your local community.
The PC Construction Paddlers finished 24th out of all race teams, with our best finish of the day at 00:58.16. Our team also took a 1st place award for the Best t-shirt design. And most importantly, we are extremely proud to have ranked 14th on the donations leaderboard with a total of $2,324 raised before the event (and donations are still trickling in!).
