The Minnesota Dragon Boat Club is the brainchild of a group of women who saw a place for more opportunities to engage in this sport in the greater Twin Cities area while at the same time supporting cancer survivors and those touched by cancer through the camaraderie and connection a team sport can provide. We are a 501(c)3 Minnesota nonprofit corporation. Contact us if you’re interested in being part of this great adventure.
