The 2018 Dragon Boat in


support of Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People


Boat race a splash hit for hospice


Businesses throughout the East Midlands ‘buoyed’ the spirits of everyone at Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People by raising over £12,000 at this year’s Dragon Boat Challenge. The Dragon Boat Challenge takes


place every year along the River Trent in Nottingham, during the popular Riverside Festival – and this year was the tenth year in which the event has supported


Chamber member Rainbows. With 28 teams taking to the


water, including a team made up of Rainbows nurses and care staff, the competition from the first race was high and saw the team from Chamber strategic partner DHL Nottingham – DHL’s Unsinkable Buoys – crowned overall winners. Derby-based firm, and fellow Chamber member, Blueprint Interiors also walked away on the


day as winners – collecting the prize for best fancy dress for their pirate-themed outfits; as well as collecting the coveted Charity Prize which is given to the team which raises the most money for Rainbows at the event. Tom Stanyard, Corporate


Partnership Fundraiser at Rainbows, said: “For the past ten years the Dragon Boat has been a wonderful event which we are


extremely proud to be part of, and this year was no different. “We’re delighted that so many


companies from across the East Midlands came out to support us. It’s the generosity of individuals and businesses, like those who took part in the challenge, that mean we’re able to continue providing vital care to the region’s most seriously ill children, young people and their families.”
