In March of 2006 several women met in the cancer center of Wheaton Franciscan Cancer Care - All Saints, to talk about starting a breast cancer survivor's dragon boat team.
We named ourselves Pink Paddling Power and one of our members designed the team logo. Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of fitness level, age, size, shape or experience. This provides an opportunity to experience camaraderie with other BCS and compete in this intriguing sport.
Our first international race was in 2007 at the World Corporate & Community Dragon Boat Championships in Welland, Ontario, Canada. We came home with our first silver medal. In the same year at the Oshkosh Fall Fest, we won the "Team Spirit Award".
In 2012 we represented the USA BCS Survivors in the IDBF 8th Club Crew World Championships held in Hong Kong in July of 2012. We survived the challenging race venue of Victoria Harbour and received the bronze trophy. What a great experience! We are now training to represent once again, the USA BCS Survivors at the IDBF 9th Club Crew World Championships held in Ravenna, Italy, September 2014.
A mixed-competitive team that has been around since the club's inception. This team is a recreational, semi-competitive team of all ages. We practice twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and compete in local dragon boat festivals. We enjoy the water, a good workout and meeting new friends.
In 2022, RDBC created their first, "All-Women's" competitive team...The Racine Dragon Belles. Competing in their first race at the Minocqua 2022 Dragon Boat Festival, these ladies took home the bronze medal and the Spirit Award against some stiff competition. The future looks very bright for the newest of the RDBC teams.
