Help keep us on the water
Abreast In A Boat relies on the kindness and generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors to help us to continue paddling. Abreast In A Boat Society uses its donations to fund the dragon boat crews, and to provide proactive education, awareness and expertise in the fight against breast cancer. Our members also participate in breast cancer research projects every year.
