Dear Friends and Family,

Can you believe it's time to kick off the 2025 Prisma Health Dragon Boat Upstate Festival? 

I have had the privilege of being a part of my friend's cancer battle for the past 3+ years.  There have been ups and downs along the way but it has given me an opportunity to see the community benefits of the Prisma Dragon Boat Festival fundraiser.  And she isn't the only one in this fight... almost everyone of us has been affected by cancer.  In my neighborhood alone this past year we've lost two dear neighbors to cancer. My dad and three grandparents lost their battle with cancer. This fight against cancer is in YOUR community, it affects YOUR family and YOUR friends. Cancer must be stopped. Prisma Health Dragon Boat Upstate uses your donation to provide much needed support for local cancer prevention and early detection programs; your donation helps advance cancer research in Greenville and provides programs for patients and survivors. Will you make a gift and support my efforts to raise funds for our local cancer programs and services? And pass this information along to your friends, co-workers and anyone who wants to see cancer eliminated! To donate go to

Paddles Up, 

Dr. Alison M. Jones
