On Saturday, July 24, 2010, Stautzenberger College fielded a team for the seventh consecutive year in the 2010 Dragon Boat Festival that benefits Partners in Education in Toledo. The “StautzenBoaters,” comprised of students, faculty and staff, overcame the high temperatures and high winds to post their best showing to date. Of the 41 teams competing, the StautzenBoaters were fourth fastest based on overall time. Other accolades included the Division A Runner-Up and Education Award.

The event, which raises money for educational opportunities in the Toledo area, featured 41 teams from area businesses and organizations. Each team competed in three, 500 meter races on the Maumee River in downtown Toledo. The three previous years, the StautzenBoater’s were the winners of the Division C Championship.

In addition to the Stautzenboater team, Stautzenberger College once again had one of the more popular tents where free massages were provided to the Dragon Boat participants. Nearly 200 massages were given. The massages showcased the Stautzenberger College Massage Therapy program. Students, faculty and alumni volunteered their services to perform those massages.
