Renton Rowing Center Fundraiser

Our youth rowing team will use rowing as a means to develop new skills, learn how to work together, and challenge academic and athletic potential. Our team provides full support – including scholarships, transportation, swimming lessons, and mentorship – to remove barriers that limit participation in rowing. All youth, grades 6-12, are welcome to participate - no previous rowing experience necessary. The City of Renton is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Washington and is the perfect place to row. Please help us make this possible!

Why We Need Your Help

Your gift makes our youth rowing team possible! Your contribution will provide more than 40 athletes with the opportunity to row as a team in a fun, supportive environment. Athletes will work with caring coaches and receive ongoing support to ensure their success on and off the water. Thank you!  

DICK'S Sporting Goods will match all donations until we reach our goal of $7,500. We have until Friday May 23 at 3:00pm PST to raise our funds. At this point we only have $1,265 left to raise. If we reach our goal of $7,500 DICK'S will match our funds giving us a grand total of $15,000! This will be a huge help in getting our Youth Rowing Team off the ground and onto the water!
