the 7th Annual 2021 Pensacola Dragon Boat Festival is a festival brought to you by your local Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, Inc. SERTOMA is an organization of business and professional people knit together in bonds of personal friendship and united in the idea of service in their community. SERTOMA is a 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 not-for-profit international organization. Every year Sertoma clubs raise more than $20 million for local community service projects. Through these projects, as well as grants and scholarships, Sertoma clubs return those funds to their respective communities – and they have loads of fun doing it while building life-long friendship.

NE Pensacola Sertoma was founded in 1988 for the purpose of contributing to the Greater Pensacola Community in as many ways as we can by raising money and supporting community organizations and charities. 

On October 9th, 2021, over 48 teams supported by thousands of spectators will be competing for bragging rights in the 7th Annual Pensacola Dragon Boat Festival. The races take place in Bayou Texar just off Bayview Park near Downtown Pensacola.

Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that works to support Gulf Coast Kid’s House, a children’s advocacy center serving Pensacola and Escambia County. As a children’s advocacy center, they combine professionals and other resources needed for the intervention, investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases –all under one child-friendly facility.

Proceeds also go to support Junior Achievement of Northwest Florida.  This organization partners with businesses and individuals who volunteer their time and expertise in our local schools. Using a nationally developed curriculum and hands on experience, they help young people understand the economics of life.
