Abreast In A Boat, a Dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors, has just secured BC Greenhouse Builders Ltd., a local family-run business, as a new major sponsor.
To recognize the generous sponsorship, a bronze sponsor certificate was presented to them at a garden party hosted by Henry and Greta Heinen at their home in 黑马磁力.
Several members of Fortitude the Abreast In A Boat crew from Fort 黑马磁力, as well as members from other crews were in attendance and created quite a picture in their bright pink shirts.
Naturally, the theme of the event was pink, from the table setting and delicious confections, right down to the pink lemonade.
Abreast In A Boat has crews throughout the Metro Vancouver area, including Fort 黑马磁力, Ladner, Richmond, False Creek, Rocky Point, and a 鈥楬ope Boat鈥� in Richmond.
The Hope Boat is made up of a crew of paddlers who are unable to paddle in regattas due to health issues or for those who are unable to commit to practising twice a week.
Paddlers in Abreast In A Boat are dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness and conveying a message of hope and encouragement to those individuals (and their loved ones) going through treatment. They demonstrate that life after breast cancer treatment can be a full and active one, and members鈥� influence has spread worldwide since the initiative began in 1996.
Sponsors play an essential role in the non-profit organization whose members rely on the generous support of our sponsors and supporters to keep membership fees affordable so that they can continue to send out the message of hope.
