River of Teal 2026: Ovarian Cancer Awareness Boat Parade
About this Event
On Sunday, September 13, the Hudson River will turn teal.
Join Never Enough Boating for the second annual River of Teal, an ovarian cancer awareness boat parade honoring survivors, families, caregivers, and all those impacted by ovarian cancer.
Created in honor of Jordan Duran, the River of Teal brings boaters and shoreline supporters together in a powerful display of remembrance, hope, and solidarity during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
