Dragon Boat Racing!

Come out and support BLINDSTART as they paddle to victory this Dragon Boating season! We have just qualified torace in the World Championships in Australia next year!

As a volunteer, you will be helping our team by setting up for our practice, assisting the blind and visually impaired by learning how to be a sighted guide and possibly guiding them down to the boats. Meet a guide dog and learn how he helps a blind paddler remain independent. Light refreshments will be provided.

Learn more at blindstart.org or email me at myu@blindstart.org.
