What is The Oswego Dragon Boat Club?

The Oswego Dragon Boat club is a recreational dragon boat paddling club that understands the necessity for Oswego, NY to provide dragon boating opportunities all summer long! It will offer three teams in its first season: a mixed (co-ed) team, a women’s team, and a 50+ years team.  These teams will participate competitively in two dragon boat festivals in the 2015 season.

The club will also offer opportunities to paddle recreationally if you’re not part of a team. Youth paddling and corporate team building events can be booked through the Oswego Dragon Boat Club.

What We Need & What You Get

The money raised from this Indiegogo campaign will be used to purchase a 40-foot long dragon boat, paddles, and life vests. This will be used to kick off the opening season of the Oswego Dragon Boat Club in the Spring of 2015. Funds will also be used to train coaches in dragon boat safety, and show them how to coach a team of paddlers.

The perks for donating to our cause vary- from some great ODBC swag (a window cling and t-shirts) to tickets to our kick-off social, and opportunities for corporate sponsorship of our boat.

In order for this boat and all of the necessary supplies to be purchased, we need to reach our goal of $15,000.

The Impact

Dragon boating is the fastest growing sport in the United States and has been embraced by many facets of the Oswego, NY community.  Within the last year, the ODBC steering committee has noticed the interest and need for a dragon boat club, so that teams can train throughout the summer and have opportunities for competition outside of Oswego’s own Oswego Dragon Festival.

It is a sport that everyone can participate in, regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability. It also helps to promote an active and healthy lifestyle in a fun environment. Oswego, NY has the perfect location for dragon boat practices, the Oswego Harbor, and a community that is happy to bring this club to life.

Other Ways You Can Help

With the positive response and enthusiasm we’ve seen in response to the Oswego Dragon Festival, we hope to bring more opportunities for community members to participate in this sport.  The Steering Committee members have ordered a dragon boat for the club- we need your help to bring boat to Oswego for our first season! You can help by donating to our cause (every little bit pushes us toward our goal) and by sharing our campaign on social media.
