Our Sponsors & Supporters

Sponsors

There are so many people and businesses who've generously backed CanSurvive and Can2 over the years, and without whose support we wouldn't be on the water. We can't thank you enough.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor we would love to discuss this with you. Contact us to find out how we can work together.
BBD supports sport for cancer recovery
in 2023,  we were delighted to receive substantial support from BBD quantity surveyors through their sponsorship of two pink dragon boats. These brand new boats are owned by Wellington Festival but their bespoke graphics link CanSurvive Club to our new sponsors, BBD. Thanks to this terrific community support from BBD, who have offices in Auckland and Wellington, our Club stands out even more on the water!

The colour of the boats highlight our strong links to Breast Cancer (BC) and help us demonstrate that many BC survivors can still engage in sport – at social and competitive levels - and encourage each other. Furthermore, we acknowledge the support and competition we receive from our non-BC club members.

​We also enjoy seeing other clubs and schools using “our” pink boats and showing them off in Wellington Harbour. We really appreciate the significant financial outlay from BBD to support our CanSurvive Club.
