Legacy Members announced for 2026

Honoring our Foundations: The 2026 Legacy Member Program

At Bucks Dragon Boat, we often say, “Be the Blue.” It is a phrase that calls for excellence, sportsmanship, and a commitment to the club. But “The Blue” isn’t just about the color jerseys that we wear. To celebrate our 2026 season, we are happy to officially introduce the Bucks Legacy Member Program, an exclusive tier dedicated to those paddlers who have reached the incredible milestone of 10 or more years with Bucks Dragon Boat.

14 years of “Paddles Up.” 14 years ago, our club was just finding its rhythm. Today, we are National Champions, World Champions, a cornerstone in the Bucks County athletic community and we continue to make a profound difference in the lives of others. This program honors the athletes who have transitioned from those early docks in New Hope & Duchess Lane to our current homes at Core Creek Park Boathouse and Peace Valley Park. The Legacy Program is more than just a membership; it is a “lifetime achievement” status for the veterans of Bucks who have been with us from the beginning and helped build the fleet we have today. To those who have been with us for over 10 years: You have seen the club through every practice, every grueling race and every victory. You were there when we were just figuring to out and stayed loyal to us all these years. You are the heartbeat of our club!

Congratulations on being the first class of the Bucks Legacy Member Program.
