Flower Ceremony

At every dragon boat festival where survivor teams participate there is a Pink Ribbon race, followed by a Flower Ceremony to remember those who have lost their lives to breast cancer, as well as those who are being treated for the disease. This is a very moving ceremony, during which we toss flowers into the water as we remember past team members.
