Be a fundraiser
The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
For almost forty years our club members have organised fundraising events, the proceeds of which have enabled us to help our local community and to support a number of national and international causes as well.
We are all volunteers and make no charge for our time, so all profits go to charity.
Story
We're back! After a two-year enforced absence due to Covid our annual charity fundraising Dragon Boat Festival returns to Gloucester Docks on Sunday 15th May 2022.
Thirty teams will be battling it out in 30 ft long Dragon Boats trying to win the much coveted "Gloucester Dragon Boat Shield", whilst at the same time raising thousands of pounds for charities supported by the Rotary Club of Gloucester Severn.
This year our headline charity is Young Gloucestershire and you can find out more about them by clicking on their name.
Please email us at info@rotarydragonboats.org if you would like to enter a team for this event and we will send you all the details.
There will be lots of fun and things to see and do at the Docks, including a funfair and lots of stalls. There's something for all the family and entrance for spectators is FREE! So do come down and support the teams on the day!
We are very grateful to Lanes Health and Gloucester Carpet Outlet for their sponsorship of the event.
