Special Dragon Boating Events & Fundraisers
We are a Cru off the water as much as we are on it. There are a number of special events coming up:

- We will be hosting the Rubber Chicken Challenge Dragon Boat Festival in Leesburg in May as a major team fundraiser
- We will be hosting a Guinness Book Of World Records event to set the record for the most miles paddled in a 24-hour period as a major team fundraiser, date to be determined
