THE EVENT
2011 represents our first dragon boat fundraiser for Pathways of The Connections in Summit. The success in hosting NJ's first BCS Invitational Dragon Boat event in 2010 gave us the idea to try this. Most of the members of our Team SOS NJ Dragon Boat team found a helpful hand at Pathways through their free Breast Cancer Survivor support services. We hope to make this an annual fundraiser event to support the organization that support others in dealing with life surviving cancer.
