LAST STRETCH!! LET'S FINISH STRONG!

March 13, 2023

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our donors, we've managed to hit our second stretch goal!! This team would not be able to achieve all that we have without supporters like you. With that being said, we have ONE LAST DAY LEFT!! In the last few hours left of our campaign, we've bumped our stretch goal one last time to $6,500. Your support in helping us pursue our passion without financial stress is greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much! ⁣ 


Much Love, 

UCLA Dragon Boat

HALFWAY THROUGH - SECOND STRETCH GOAL!

March 02, 2023

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! In just a little over two weeks, we managed not just to reach our initial goal but also our first stretch goal. We could not have done this without the kindness and generosity of our donors, so UCLA Dragonboat would like to sincerely thank you all for your support, whether it be through donations or sharing our campaign.


With less than 2 weeks left, we've boosted our goal by another $1,500. All the funds that have been raised will be used towards covering our annual practice fees for the school year. Every weekend, our team heads down to Long Beach for practice, where we give it our all in the lead-up to our races. As a student-run team, many expenses fall on our paddlers, including maintaining our equipment and transportation to and from practice. With your continued support, we hope to lower the cost for all student-athletes and make dragon-boating a more accessible sport. 


Your support in helping us pursue our passion without the financial stress is greatly appreciated. If you have already donated, thank you again and please continue to share our cause on social media. To those who have yet to do so, please help us reach our new stretch goal! Thank you ❤️


Much Love,

UCLA Dragon Boat


NEW STRETCH GOAL - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US REACH OUR GOAL!

February 17, 2023

INCREDIBLE!! In just 5 days, thanks to the kindness and generosity of our donors, we've raised over $3,000!

We cannot be more grateful for all the love and support that has been shown to us. We promise that we'll be working our hardest to make you all proud at Tempe. That being said, just yesterday as we were nearing our fundraising goal, our most important piece of training equipment, the pErg, had its string snapped in half. 

Our one and only pErg has been in our team for quite a number of years and the wear and tear has finally taken its toll. As a team that only gets to practice on the water twice a week, we rely heavily on the pErg to supplement our training. Thus, we've boosted our fundraising goal for the remaining 25 days of our campaign to $4,500 to replace the numerous parts of the pErg that have been broken. 

If you have already donated to our campaign, thank you again and please continue to share our cause on social media. To those who are still thinking about supporting us, please help us reach our new stretch goal! Every donation counts!

Thank you all for all your support. Go Bruins!

Much love,

UCLA Dragon Boat

80% UPDATE

February 15, 2023

FANTASTIC!! Just 3 days into our campaign, we've hit over 80% of our goal - nearly $2,500! We are so grateful to everyone who has donated so far to help make our race at Tempe this year more affordable for our paddlers.


If you have already donated to our campaign, thank you again! Remember, every form of support counts, even if it’s just sharing our spark campaign on social media.

Thank you all so much for your support, and Go Bruins!


Love,

UCLA Dragon Boat 2022-2023
