The Sussex Academy Executive Board of Directors recently recognized Krista and Stuart Griffin, co-chairs of the Lewes Dragon Boat Festival. The Griffins created the festival and volunteered countless hours to oversee it.
The final Lewes Dragon Boat Festival was held in September 2017. During the five-year event, more than $316,000 was raised for the Sussex Academy capital campaign.
