2025 Dragon Boat Upstate Festival

Ragin' Cajuns

The Ragin' Cajuns team was started by Caleb and Mary Freeman who brought Dragon Boat to Greenville almost 20 years ago.  I (Alison Jones) have had the honor of being the captain of this team for my upcoming FOURTH season. 

Why do we do this? That's a great question and the best answer has many parts: the primary reason is that it supports cancer patients in OUR community through cancer prevention and early detection, advanced cancer research, and patient and survivor programs.  Other reasons are the friendships formed through this event, the healthy rivalry among teams for funds raised (over $310K last year) and races won, and the incredibly fun day on the lake when we paddle to fight cancer!

Most of us have, unfortunately, been touched by cancer in some way and the Dragon Boat Upstate Festival provides an opportunity for us to honor and remember loved ones that have faced or continue to face the disease. 
 
If you're reading this page, I am asking you to make a donation to this worthy cause in honor of someone you know or miss who has been through a cancer diagnosis.  Every dollar counts and helps someone here in our own community.  
 
Together, we can make a difference. Give today to help us "paddle" in the race against cancer. 


Sincerely,

Dr. Alison M. Jones, captain Ragin' Cajuns
