Hello Dragon Boat Community!

We hope this message finds you well and in great spirits. As you may or may not know, our community has been a bit shaken over the last couple of weeks. I am here to tell you we are still standing strong, but we need a little from our friends! Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to bringing together our community through this event. Many of you have been longtime supporters and some of you are new, regardless of your time with us we are asking you to join us this year on November 2nd!!

While there may appear to be conflicts that have recently surfaced in the schedule, we hope that you join us as we work to rebuild our school community with this yearly charity event. We are counting on the incredible spirit and commitment the Dragon Boat community brings to our community now more than ever!

The Dragon Boat Festival is more than just a celebration. It is an opportunity for us to come together as a community, fostering friendships, supporting each other, and keeping our traditions alive. By committing to this event, you are not only taking part in a race, but also supporting the work we do as a nonprofit to strengthen our community and support our students and staff of the Citrus County School District!

We kindly ask for your continued support and commitment to making this year’s Dragon Boat Festival a success. Your presence and participation mean the world to us and make a significant difference in the lives of everyone involved. Let’s show that the commitment of the Dragon Boat Family and our community’s shared passions and spirit, can bring all of us together for an incredible cause!

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to reach out to me directly! We look forward to celebrating with you at the Dragon Boat Festival!!!
