Boyne Clarke would like to congratulate its 2009 Manulife Dragon Boat Team, “Law & Oar-der”, for achieving the Top Corporate Fundraiser spot for the third year in a row! This year, the Team raised nearly $10,000, which brings our three-year grand total of over $28,000 dollars raised.

The Manulife Dragon Boat Festival helps raise money for the Nova Scotia Amateur Sport Fund. The Sport Fund helps increase participation in sport by supporting amateur athletes, coaches, officials, and community-based programs throughout Nova Scotia.

Boyne Clarke has been participating in the Festival since its inception in 1998. Before that, Boyne Clarke competed in the War Canoe Challenge, which raised funds for the IWK. Aside from helping support a great organization like the Nova Scotia Amateur Sports Fund, the Manulife Dragon Boat Festival remains near and dear to our hearts for the great sense of community and team work it facilitates.

We are already looking forward to next years Festival – the 2010 Team will get to unveil our new Boyne Clarke lifejackets! – with fundraising scheduled to begin shortly after Christmas to hopefully once again reach Top Corporate Fundraiser status!
