Roar for Door 84 at this year’s race!

We’re off to the races again – quite literally! Team Roar for Door 84 is gearing up for the 2025 York Dragon Boat Race on Sunday 13th July, and we’re bringing the energy, the oars, and the community spirit with us!

Teaming up once again with our fantastic rowers from, John Wright Electrical & Mechanical Services and RotaCloud, we’re more determined than ever to paddle our way to victory.

You might remember us from last year – in 2024, ‘Roar for Door 84’ proudly took home The Charity Trophy as the fastest charity team and even powered our way into the finals! This year, we’re not just hoping to reclaim that trophy; we’re aiming for an even higher finish in the overall standings. 

The Dragon Boat Race raises money for a number of brilliant causes nominated by the Rotary Club of York – and our team is also racing to raise vital funds for Door 84 Youth & Community Centre. Every donation goes directly toward helping us continue to support young people, adults with additional needs, and the wider York community.

We’d love to see you there! Join us by the river next to Lendal Bridge on race day to cheer us on.

Can’t make it in person? You can still make a huge difference by donating online.

Let’s make some noise (and maybe some waves) for Door 84!
