Help Kevin raise money

As many of you know, I am a longtime paddler at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival with my team GTB. 2024 marks a very special 20th anniversary for us as a team!

A big part of the festival is the Pledge Challenge where paddlers are encouraged to raise money for the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation (ODBF). Since 2004, the ODBF has helped to raise over $5 million for local Ottawa charities. In 2023, thanks to generous support from people like you, our team was invited to race in the Pledge Challenge Cup against other top fundraising teams and successfully defended both of our Challenge Cup championships! 

I'd be honoured if you would consider helping one of the incredible charities supported by the ODBF this year: Big Brothers and Big Sisters Ottawa, the Chelsea Foundation, CHEO's Mental Health Department, the Lotus Centre for Special Music Education, Ottawa Therapy Dogs, and Tim Horton's Foundation Camps. 

If you're curious about what it's like to be IN the boat during one of our races, have a look here or here, or better yet - come visit us at Mooney's Bay on June 21 and 22!
