GREENVILLE, S.C. – Dagger, the premier designer and manufacturer of high-performance whitewater and adventure recreation kayaks, is proud to sponsor the 2014 “Live Your Dreams” tour, conceived by Team Dagger manager Chris Gragtmans.
“Live Your Dreams” focuses on inspiring and educating high school and college-aged youth about achieving career goals and gaining confidence through an active lifestyle and spending time outdoors.
The tour, which runs from January through March 2014, includes stops to high schools, colleges and universities all across the southeastern United States to encourage students to follow their hearts into careers that fulfill and sustain them, offering tools and advice to reach career success and happiness. Gragtmans draws on his career as a professional kayaker to illustrate the principles and lessons he’s learned in finding success as a full-time paddler.

We are excited to be part of this movement to help today’s youth find greater success in life.”
