CHARITY DRAGON
BOAT EVENTS

Over £1/2 million raised annually by Gable Events charity dragon boat events

Dragon boat events are a superb and proven way of raising funds for charity with individual events raising between £5,000 and £100,000

Stress-free organisation
We offer full promotional and marketing support to help you to recruit the teams and will take care of every aspect of the organisation of your day, leaving you free to raise the money! Up to 60 crews can race during a day and absolutely no previous experience is required

A proven track record
Many of our dragon boat event clients have been booking our services for more than ten years proving how popular and successful dragon boat racing is as a fundraiser and how happy our clients are with the service they receive from Gable Events. We work with an enormous array of charities, both large and small, city based and rural, and one of our most regular client groups is rotary clubs.
