Support Janet's Team USA Dragon Boat Journey

Janet Representing Team USA in Dragon Boat Racing

Hi Family and Friends, For those that know my passion for the Dragon Boat Racing sport, I want to share this exciting news with everyone! I’m incredibly proud that I’ve been selected to represent Team USA on the National Dragon Boat Team for the 17th IDBF World Championships. The races will take place July 14-21, 2025.

This milestone is the result of over a decade of dedication, training, and passion for the sport—and now, I have the honor of competing on the international stage.

As excited and grateful as I am, this opportunity also comes with significant personal expenses. Unlike many other national sports, dragon boat athletes are responsible for covering their own costs, including:

Travel to training camps and international competitions

Equipment and uniforms

Lodging and meals during events

Entry fees and team dues

I’m humbly asking for your support to help make this journey even more possible. Every donation—no matter the size—goes directly toward helping me represent our country and give my best on the world stage.

Dragon boating is more than just a sport to me. It has taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of community. I’m proud to carry those values with me as I compete for Team USA.

If you're unable to donate, I’d still be so grateful if you could share this campaign with friends, family, or others who may be interested in supporting a U.S. national athlete.

In addition, if you would like to watch the races live, I will be posting the streaming link on my Facebook and Instagram pages. In the meantime, checkout https://www.dragonboat.sport

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this journey!

With gratitude,

Janet Kim

Team USA
