Saving Lives, Changing Lives

Women Playing For T.I.M.E. is more than a fundraising group — it’s an organization that changes lives and saves lives. See for yourself just how special this organization is.

Picture it — 20 women, all breast cancer survivors, in a single dragon boat paddling as one. It’s a statement about the power of faith and friendship. It’s the art of Growing Bolder. It’s one heck of good time.
