NBP Survivors in Sync New Paddler Day

NBP Survivors in Sync New Paddler Day
5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL 34235
If you’re a breast cancer survivor, the paddlers of NBP Survivors In Sync relate — they’re fellow survivors who unite for competition but also as friends, supporters, and more. The SISters share a bond beyond their paddles. But once on the water, they’re fierce, either recreationally or in competition. Come try dragon boat paddling! There’s room for you in the boat!
Come learn for FREE about Nathan Benderson Park’s world-class paddling program for breast cancer survivors, and take a spin — no strings attached, no fee involved — as a paddler for the morning of Oct. 23. Meet us on Regatta Island, down near the boat storage area/launch docks.
