Why We Need Your Support
One in eight Canadian women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. And while breast cancer in men is rare — less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men – it does happen. According to the latest statistics, it is estimated that 26,300 women and 230 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer and almost 5000 women and 43 men will die from the disease in the next year.¹
Breast cancer survivor dragon boating is an international movement initiated in 1996 by Canadian sports medicine specialist Dr. Don McKenzie of the University of British Columbia, whose research resulted in the conclusion that the risk of death from breast cancer can be reduced by 67% simply by doing two to three hours of exercise each week.
The Warriors of Hope are not just a dragon boat racing team…we have a mandate to raise awareness about the quality of life that is possible after treatment by living our message and creating a haven for those who are battling the disease. But, since our team is entirely volunteer-based, we require corporate sponsorship to achieve our goals.
You Can Help!
Your support for the Warriors of Hope allows us to train on land and on the water, attend dragon boat races and festivals, and maintain our equipment – all while raising awareness of breast cancer. Your sponsorship sends a message to those living with this disease, demonstrating that it is possible to have an exciting and challenging life after treatment. As a sponsor, you will give breast cancer survivors a renewed sense of self-esteem and focus beyond survival.
We have sponsorship, donation and in-kind support opportunities at a number of different levels. Please check out our Sponsorship Levels and Benefits below, and choose a sponsorship option that works for you. Download our Sponsorship Package.
