DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL 2021
The Children's Coalition Dragon Boat Festival will not return in 2021. Due to the risks associated with COVID-19 and spreading it to others, specifically with the CDC guidelines of not being within 6 feet of others for a cumulative total of 15 minutes in a 24-hour period, we have made the decision to cancel the event again this year. Your health and safety continue to be our priority, and we encourage everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Stopping a pandemic requires using all the tools we have available — wearing masks, staying at least 6 feet from people who do not live with you, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, washing your hands frequently, and getting vaccinated.
This fun, family-friendly event will be sorely missed. Not only has Dragon Boat been an important fundraising endeavor for the Children’s Coalition, but it was a great time for our community to gather outdoors and cheer on teams of local schools and businesses that competed for the fastest time.
Dragon Boat has supported underfunded programs like Signs of Suicide, Nurturing Fatherhood, Healthy Living, and Youth Development as well as our Children's Coalition Family Garden. In this challenging year, we still need your support. If you are able, please click below to learn how you can give to the Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana.
We hope to host the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022 and see you there!
