Why We're Raising Money

In addition to supporting the programs of Dragonheart Vermont, fundraising for the LCBDF in 2024 also helps to support the programs of Osher Integrative Oncology at the UVM Cancer Center, our 2024 Pledge Partner.

Osher Integrative Oncology offers therapies that help relieve suffering, improve care and quality of life, support healthy lifestyles, and empower cancer patients and families.

But did you know? 

Patient support programs like these are separate from the medical treatment aspects of the cancer center and are not covered by insurance. We rely on support from our community to continue to provide these programs free of charge to every participant.

Festival Artist

Every year, the Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival solicits a local artist to create a print for us. Last year's artist was our own Jess Rodrigues.

Our artist for 2024 is Gretchen Alexander. We can't wait to see her creation and add it to our gallery of images.
