Thank you for signing up for this year’s Severn Hospice Dragon Boat Festival – we’re so excited to have you on board!
This page has everything you’ll need, including your essential event pack, fundraising guide and tips, and useful resources to help you make the most of your epic day and your support.
The Dragon Boat Festival has been bringing teams together to support Severn Hospice for over 20 years, and every year it continues to grow. That’s entirely down to the amazing people who take part – people like you.
Every pound raised through sponsorship, donations and team entry fees helps us be there for local people across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales when they are facing some of life’s most difficult moments. Your efforts directly help provide care, comfort and support to families when they need it most.
We’re incredibly grateful for your involvement – thank you. Your support truly makes a difference, and we couldn’t do this without you.
