PFC is not only about physical recovery but also about emotional recovery enhanced by social interaction with fellow survivors and supporters. We love to smile, laugh, and share more love. There’s no room for pity parties — instead, we foster a nurturing, supportive, and mentoring environment, where survivors can become strong, resilient, and most importantly, look out for one another. 💪💞

Organized by

Paddle For The Cure NYC

Paddle For The Cure is a special support organization for breast cancer survivors/supporters sponsored by NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst. We offer a unique survivorship program that uses recreational dragon boat paddling to manage side effects of treatment for breast cancer survivors and promotes a positive and healthy lifestyle. Organized by survivors ourselves, we paddle our way to recovery with each other and a tremendous group of supporters and paddling enthusiasts along our side. Our on-water season is May through October. Off-season indoor practice is available November through April. We plan to practice weekly in the World’s Fair Marina during the warm weather and participate in dragon boat races along the East Coast.Our team events are open to all and promote a healthy lifestyle, a way of getting life and movement back through exercise, as well as emotional support and team spirit.

Since Paddle for the Cure is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, donations and tickets at our fundraisers and events are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
