The 2nd Annual
Hope Floats Challenge
August 9-11, 2024
The Hope Floats Challenge
The Hope Floats Challenge, hosted by Alkame, is a Dragon Boat Festival. This year proceeds from this three-day event will support Wellspring Niagara Cancer.
Wellspring receives NO core government or hospital funding. For almost 25 years, Wellspring Niagara has been a beacon of hope, focusing on our mission to support the unique non-medical impacts of cancer. By providing social, emotional, psychological, restorative, and informational support free of charge to men, women, and children living with cancer, including their families and caregivers, Wellspring plays a crucial role that no other organization does.
Since opening its doors in June 2001, the demand for programs and services at Wellspring Niagara has experienced continual year-over-year growth, especially post-COVID, with new needs emerging. Your contribution is essential to meet these growing needs.
Third-party events, such as this are critical to the success and legacy of Wellspring Niagara.
If you have cancer, you have Wellspring Niagara.

About Wellspring Niagara
Wellspring Niagara first opened its doors in June 2001 with a mission to provide free social, emotional, psychological, informational and spiritual support to individuals living with cancer, their families and close supporters.
Wellspring Niagara fulfills the dream of Aldo Mantini, who lost his life to cancer at age 31. Aldo had inspired many in his community to work together to bring the type of supportive care offered by Wellspring to Niagara. Today the centre offers a wide range of programs to men, women and children living through the Niagara region.
As a not-for-profit, charitable organization, Wellspring Niagara relies solely on the financial support of the community it serves, the Niagara region.
