Derby City Dragons

As Louisville’s only Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat Racing team, we are proud to be a small part of the worldwide explosion of the sport. Our team was founded in March of 2013, and we welcome breast cancer survivors regardless of age, fitness level, or previous experience. The art of dragon boating allows survivors to regain physical and emotional strength in a supportive community of hope. We share a zest for fun, friendship, health, and sportsmanship. After a life-altering diagnosis, we “awaken the dragon”  and celebrate life, one stroke at a time.

Our Mission

• To raise awareness of breast cancer in our community

• To restore physical, emotional and spiritual health of survivors

• To transform life challenges through encouragement and support

• To commemorate those diagnosed with breast cancer who are no longer with us

• To “awaken the dragon” in each of us, celebrating life, one stroke at a time.

Our Vision

To make a difference in the fight against breast cancer through dragon boat racing and our involvement in community activities.
