Dragon Busters bingo night
July 21, 2016
The North Shore Dragon Busters dragon boat team bingo night took place June 11 at Holy Trinity elementary in North Vancouver. The positive energy was obvious from the get-go as 240 effervescent, ready-to-play people headed into the school gym for bingo, food, drinks, a raffle, silent auction, socializing and, most importantly, to support the North Shore Dragon Busters, comprised of 28 breast cancer survivors, fundraising for their dragon boat endeavours, including boat rentals and uniform purchases. There were many cancer survivors, battlers, family members and supporters in the gym, and their buoyant, brave spirits, powered by courage, strength, determination and positive outlooks, were something very special to behold and experience. Bingo, indeed! photography Ann Hamilton, North Shore News
