Guidance counselor Caroline Babik participated in the Sarasota Dragon Boat Festival in Florida last weekend to raise awareness for breast cancer.
A total of 101 teams participated and six counties were represented. Babik’s team, called Pink Steel, came in second overall, behind a team in Canada.
Babik said she became interested in this event because she is a breast cancer survivor, and she has always been interested in rowing and paddling.
“It gives me a chance to connect with women who went through the same thing,” Babik said. “I want to show the positive side of it as opposed to the sadness of being sick.”
