Our Vision... redefining cancer survivorship.
Dragon Boat Charleston (DBC) has been redefining cancer survivorship since 2003. We are made up of more than 150 cancer survivors and community members in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. In addition to paddling dragon boats, DBC hosts recreational and social gatherings throughout the year, has off-season programs like Winter Wellness, and participates in several races each year. Some call it a floating support group, some call it a family. Whatever it is…it’s life changing! 

Our Mission
We promote physical and mental wellness among cancer survivors and their community through dragon boating.

Our History
In 2000, Janet Bloch, ANP and Cindy Carter, Ph.D. laid the groundwork for Dragon Boat Charleston, recognized as the first all-cancer survivor team in the U.S. View Liz Oakley's award winning film, Awaken the Dragon to learn more about Dragon Boat Charleston.
