The Chester Charity Dragon Boat Festival has so far helped raise over £68,000 for local, regional and national charities.

The charities featured on this website are either from current or previous years.  Simply place your mouse over 'Charities >>' in the menu above and a list of the supported charities will appear.

For every charity that has entered (or has a team entering to support them) in this year's festival, will produce a webpage for you on this website, giving information about who you are, what you do and also a link to your website. We will also continue to feature charities supported from the previous year too. From each charity's page, we will make available a downloadable entry pack into the festival.

Roll your mouse over 'Charities' tab on the menu and a list of supported charities comes up?

The ranking on the list will be determined by three factors, with rule number one (below) taking priority over number two ... and so on:

  1. The number of teams a charity has registering in this year's event,

  2. The date of team registration, with the earlier teams going first,

  3. (In the unlikely event of a tie, the number of teams the charity had registering at the previous year's event),

The main ranking factor will be the number of teams a charity has entering to support it, irrespective of when those teams registered.

So the more teams you have entering to support you, the higher up the list you go!

Deadline for all entries is Friday 5th June 2009.
