The Philadelphia Flying Phoenix Dragon Boat Team is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Membership dues cover most of our expenses, and we rely on donations from sponsors and friends to offset many costs involved with maintaining and running a premier dragon boat team. When you donate to PFP/ATW, your support extends far beyond our team’s exploits on rivers around the globe. It supports a mission dedicated to empowering women, improving women’s health, and fitness, and supporting breast cancer survivors. 

PFP is not just an athletic team. It is an organization dedicated to the Philadelphia community. Through outreach programs, PFP’s impact extends to economically disadvantaged youth paddlers with our Healthy Dragons team — a co-ed middle school youth program. Off-season, we have volunteered at the Share Food Program with Ruby’s Kids. Our BCS crew Against the Wind (ATW) is active in supporting breast cancer charities, including Living Beyond Breast Cancer. 

In addition to being winners on the water, PFP/ATW members are accomplished committed women of the community. Our members make paddling a part of their lives while being active as business and medical professionals, teachers, entrepreneurs, lawyers, students, moms, volunteers, and retirees. 

Thank you for considering PFP/ATW in your charitable gifts.
