Our Mission

One Stroke at a Time
Stronger Together
More Than a Team, An ALL INCLUSIVE Family of Survivors

The Rose City Rockets unites cancer survivors and their supporters through dragon boat paddling, fostering strength, healing, and community on and off the water.

We believe that survivorship is not the end of a journey but the beginning of a new one — powered by teamwork, resilience, and hope.

Through shared paddles and purpose, we help survivors reclaim their bodies, rebuild their confidence, and rediscover joy after cancer.

Every stroke is a testament to endurance, every practice, a celebration of life. We stand as living proof that there is life — vibrant, strong, and connected — after a cancer diagnosis.

Together, we paddle forward.
