Calling all volunteers!
Recruit your friends and family!
Planning is well underway for the Machestic Dragons’ 15th Annual Dragon Boat Festival, “Paddle for Pink” on Saturday, June 15, 2024 at Mercer County Park Lake, West Windsor, NJ.
​
Paddle for Pink is an exciting event hosting about 50 dragon boat teams (each with 20 paddlers) racing on Mercer County Lake. This community-based event celebrates breast cancer survivors and funds raised are donated to local programs that provide free services to breast cancer patients.
​
Volunteers are the key to making this event a success. Help is needed with various activities throughout the day: parking, set up and break-down, dock hands, drummers, and more! You can help for a few hours, a half day or the entire day. Prior to race day, you will receive detailed information about your assignment, what you need to bring and what we will provide!
​
Volunteers who come out to work have a lot of fun! We welcome volunteers ages 12 and up, (including scouts or church group, etc.), although dock helpers are age 16 and up.
Community service hour certificates will be provided upon request for students volunteering.
We collect volunteer info now and will make final assignments in late May.
