The James Island Vikings were originally formed as a Dragon Boat team and helped raise money for cancer through Charleston's Dragon Boat Festival. In 2010, the Vikings lost close friend Nancy Brown after a yearlong battle with breast cancer. The following year, Nancy's partner, Bo, held the first Bo Roast and Chili Cook-off at James Island County Park. Afterwards, the Vikings made a joint decision to continue donating to cancer programs.
