GoPink!DC is the premiere and only dragon boat team specifically for breast cancer survivors and supporters in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. The diagnosis of breast cancer either personally or of a loved one is our common bond, and paddling together in a 20-person dragon boat has created a treasured sisterhood offering fitness, friendship, and fun. Our members come from all walks of life including career women, moms, retirees. And, we are members of a worldwide community of breast cancer survivors who have discovered the physical, mental, and psychological restorative benefits of the addictive sport of dragon boat paddling. Click here to be added to our contact list for announcements about races, special events, and other club information.  

Breast cancer survivors and supporters of all ages and levels of fitness are welcomed to join GoPink!DC and experience the fastest growing paddling sport worldwide.  While our on-the-water paddling season runs from late March thru early November,  we offer fitness and conditioning through-out the year.  In addition to weekly practices, we participate in festivals and races locally, as well as other venues in the eastern United States.  But most importantly, each time we are paddling together in our boat, we are reminded we are winners, because we are building or maintaining our physical fitness, as we relish the rich and unique experiences in life.  Back on shore, we find time to cherish our friendship and support through other social events unrelated to paddling.
