Donations

We are now accepting donations to help our Ryde Dragon Boat Club members head to Adelaide!
Ryde DBC goal for this project is to raise funds to subsidise the costs towards our member's Race Fees. As a club, we will be aiming to send upwards of 60 paddlers to compete across the 6 days of dragon boat racing, from Juniors, Under 24s and adults up to 70+. This year we aim to enter an All Cancer Paddler team as well. We are aiming to qualify teams for the Club Crew World Championships in Spain in 2028 having competed in this event in Taiwan in Sep 2026.
Race Fees will cost $20,000+ dollars to enter teams across three categories of Mixed, Women's and Opens teams across three distances of 200m, 500m and 2,000m races.
Any financial help to get the team to Adelaide would be much appreciated.
