Corporate teams needed for ‘dragons on the Lagan’ in boat race for Air Ambulance NI
and live on Freeview channel 276
The exciting event will see 20 corporate teams race against each other in authentic dragon boats along the river as well as music and food across the day. Each boat holds up to 20 people (plus an additional drummer!) taking to the water to battle it out for the best time while raising vital funds to sustain the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS).
Colleen Milligan from the charity explained: “This is a fantastic team building afternoon for corporates across NI.

"Our last dragon boat race in 2021 was a lot of fun and importantly raised in excess of £20,000 to fund missions to critically injured patients.
“The event is hosted by Bryson LaganSports. With Forestside coming on board as the sponsor, we are really able to make it a fun and memorable day for all the teams who are taking part- and it’s a Friday afternoon, so a perfect opportunity to get the staff together for some fun.”
Registration costs £500 per team (so for a team of 20, that’s £25 per person). Each team is encouraged to raise a minimum of £1500 to help Air Ambulance NI continue to provide critical pre-hospital care.
