The Winner of the 2023 Special Recognition Award is Donegal Dragons. The Donegal Dragons made history in 2023 winning gold in the Women’s category at the Lough Rinn Dragon Boat Regatta in September.
The Donegal Dragons is inspired and was founded by a breast cancer survivor Deborah Bonner in 2015. It was founded to promote health and well being for people who have survived breast cancer. And coincidentally here tonight there is a remarkable link between Deborah Bonner, the Donegal Dragons and Jim McGuinness.
In 2014, Jim was speaking at the Relay for Life Donegal Cancer Conference.

This was the inspiration behind Deborah’s decision to form the Donegal Dragons.
