History of the GWN Dragon Boat Challenge
In 1994, GWN took the challenge of developing this event into an annual large scale fundraising event for Canadian charities. The Great White North Dragon Boat Challenge continues to grow both in scope and funds raised. To date, this event has raised over $990,000 for Canadian charities.
Strongly committed to the production of sustainable charitable events, GWN through its solely owned and operated signature event, the GWN Dragon Boat Challenge is approaching 1 million dollars raised for a wide variety of Canadian charities including Children's Wish Foundation, Canadian Living Foundation, Breakfast for Learning, Canadian Spinal Research Organization, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Variety Club, the Children's Charity and Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Entering its 12th year, attracting thousands of elite and recreational athletes, the GWN Dragon Boat Challenge is highly regarded as one of North America's premier dragon boat racing events.
