Corporate and media sponsors provide the financial foundation for our charitable dragon boat race and festival. More than 70 dragon boat festivals throughout the United States have proven to be excellent opportunities for businesses to demonstrate their community support and advance their image and products or services through pre-event advertising and promotion, as well as day-of-the race advertising to 2500+ race participants and spectators.
