A huge thank you to our 2026 Iron Paddle Sponsor! 🐉🚣

Your support helps make one of our most exciting Dragon Boat traditions possible—the Iron Paddle Race, where college football rivalries leave the field and hit the water! From friendly competition to unforgettable laughs, this fan-favorite event wouldn't be the same without you.

Thank you for helping us bring our community together for a day of fun, teamwork, and a little rivalry on the river. We can't wait to see who takes home the paddle in 2026!
