www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 15, 2008 - 9 Dragon Boat races Sunday The fifth annual TigerTel Oakville Charity Dragon Boat Festival will take place this Sunday, Aug. 17 at Kelso Conservation Area in Milton. Organized by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar, the event is an action-packed day with 75 teams competing in races from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. followed by presentations to winners. A beer tent will open at noon. The festival helps raise funds for dozens of charities, including two major beneficiaries: Habitat for Humanity Halton and the Children's Aid Foundation of Halton. Gwen Angell-Mighton of the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar and chair of the festival's organizing committee, says her club is proud of the benefit resulting for the community. "It's also a hugely fun event, so it's win-win for everyone involved," she said. Kathrin Delutis, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Halton, says the organization partners with families, giving them the opportunity to own their own home and break the cycle of poverty that often continues from one generation to the next. Likewise, the festival is a big event for the Halton Children's Aid Society. "It's a great opportunity to raise much-needed funds for the many programs supported by the (Children's Aid) Foundation for children receiving services from the Halton Children's Aid Society," said Tina Blatchford, executive director of the foundation. Both organizations also have teams that participate in the races. For more information, visit www.oakvilledragon.com.
