Pink Phoenix Dragon Boat Team Competes to Show Quality of Life After Breast Cancer

Pink Phoenix™ is the United States' first dragon boat team consisting solely of breast cancer survivors. Our mission is to enhance breast cancer awareness and to provide hope for survivors that there is quality life after breast cancer. Our purpose is to demonstrate that special quality of life; to promote wellness, fitness, fun and camaraderie through dragon boating; and to provide social, emotional and spiritual support for breast cancer survivors. With media recognition and public visibility, Pink Phoenix™ strives to provide hope to those newly diagnosed and to serve as a reminder to women to have mammograms regularly and to do self-exams. Early detection is the best fight against breast cancer.

In Memory of Jenanne Eschweiler

We wish to thank the family of our beloved teammate and coach, Jenanne Eschweiler, for their requestthat donations in her memory be sent to Pink Phoenix.  Jenanne paddled with Pinks for many years.  She was a strong and joyous paddler and a wise teacher who introduced many new paddlers to the river.
