Our Purple Tribute Ribbon is a special and meaningful way to donate. For a donation of $25 or more a ribbon is added to our purple boa in a loved one's honor or memory. Purple ribbons are fastened together to create a boa that our drummer wears providing hope and inspiration as we compete in festivals against other teams of breast cancer survivors.

Through the generous contributions of our supporters, Hope in the Boat raised sufficient funds in 2009 to purchase our first boat. Our fund raising goals for 2010 include:

• Trailer for our boat (approx $3,500)
• Send our team to Peterborough, Canada to participate in the 2010 International Dragon Boat Festival for Breast Cancer Survivors ($15,000).
• Training and scholarships to allow breast cancer survivors in the Capital Region to fully participate regardless of their personal financial circumstances (approx $5,000).
