Dragonheart Vermont, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting cancer survivors through the sport of dragon boating, recently donated the proceeds from their annual Dragon Boat Festival to the University of Vermont’s Osher Center for Integrated Health. The donation was made in honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, and it will help the Osher Center continue to provide integrative health services to cancer survivors.
The annual Dragon Boat Festival, which took place at Waterfront Park in Burlington, was a huge success, with teams of cancer survivors and supporters coming together to race dragon boats and raise money for a good cause. Dragonheart Vermont has been hosting the festival for over 20 years, and this year’s event was no exception in terms of community support and participation.
The donation to the Osher Center for Integrated Health is a testament to Dragonheart Vermont’s commitment to supporting cancer survivors in their journey towards better health and well-being. The Osher Center offers a variety of integrative health services, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and mindfulness meditation, to help cancer survivors manage the physical and emotional effects of their illness.
In a statement to WCAX, Dragonheart Vermont expressed their gratitude for the support of the community and their sponsors, who made the festival and donation possible. The funds donated will help the Osher Center continue to provide these important services to cancer survivors in Vermont.
Overall, Dragonheart Vermont’s donation to the Osher Center for Integrated Health is a shining example of how a community can come together to support those in need. Through their annual Dragon Boat Festival, Dragonheart Vermont continues to make a positive impact on the lives of cancer survivors in Vermont.
