The 2008 Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash
Will Be in Honor of Tom Donner!
Tom Donner was recently diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
In the past pledges and money raised over the weekend benefited the local cancer society.
This year all money raised will be given to
Tom & Linda Donner to help offset medical expenses.
There will several fund raising efforts through out the event to offset
medical expenses for the Donners.
