Dunk for the Brave 2015: A photo diary

We had a beautiful day down at Quidi Vidi Lake on August 5, 2015 for our fourth annual Dunk for the Brave! Patrons of the 197th running of the Royal St. John’s Regatta helped us raise $4,044 in support of young adults affected by cancer!

St. John’s City Councillor Bernard Davis was the last man in the “cold seat,” and he was entertaining and charming up until the very last splash! Watch out Brian Bradley — he’s your dunk tank record holder competition!

Missed all the fun, but still want to help out? You can still make a general online donation!
