help the Blue Raven team paddle to the end
Race Day Countdown — July 25, 2026

Blue Raven Ministry is a non-profit raising funds for its first ever dragon boat racing team. We will be competing in our first race on July 25 at Long Island's very own Dragon Boat Festival. Help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000. Funds will go toward competition fees and continuing our mission work.

▶Why dragon boat racing?
Part of our mission is to raise awareness for individuals with disabilities. It's very hard to raise awareness without inclusion and presence. Team sports are a great and organic way to include our Blue Ravens (members). This team is focused on both competition and community. We are a mixed-ability team.
▶Who are Blue Ravens?
Our members are the Blue Ravens. The name is inspired by the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17:2-16. In this chapter, God sends a raven to provide bread and meat to the prophet Elijah when he was without sustenance. Oftentimes in the Bible, ravens were said to be detestable and unclean. Many cultures still consider them to be bad omens. However, God repeatedly chooses the raven to be His divine messenger and provider.
Society may have their low opinions of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but we see their capacity to be a blessing to others. Our mission is to empower them to serve others while raising awareness of their multifaceted existence.
▶Who we have served
Some of the communities we have served include the elderly at a local nursing home, backstretch workers at the Belmont Racetrack, local churches, and even furriends at an animal rescue.
