To say it was a successful year for the Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival would be a massive understatement.
A cheque for more than $312,000 was unveiled on Wednesday at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
Chair Michelle Thornton says she is thrilled with how the community came together and stepped up for local health care.
Thornton adds having the best care possible close to home, is immeasurable.
This vital fundraiser supports world-class cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment close to home, and has raised over $4.5 million since its inception.
Thornton and her team have some time to rest, but she says they’ll start meeting soon to get working on next year’s event which will be June 14th.
