Help Vero Beach Rowing Athletes Raise $50,000

Vero Beach Rowing is Growing

Vero Beach Rowing Mission Statement:

“To promote and teach the sport of rowing to the community in order to develop physical fitness, personal character and an ethic of cooperation through competitive and recreational opportunities.”

The number of youth athletes participating in our Juniors program continues to grow. As a young team, they're achieving success regionally, statewide and nationally - for some, even internationally! Help us continue our growth while supporting the youth of Vero Beach and providing them with opportunities and experiences they'll take into adulthood.

The 2024 Vero Beach Rowing Erg-A-Thon goal is to raise $50,000. Participants from our masters, varsity, novice & middle school will work together to test their physical fitness, personal character & team cooperation. Starting November 16th @ 8am, rowing teams of all ages will erg for a total of 42,195 meters (a full 26.2 mile marathon distance). Each rower is encouraged to raise at least $550 to meet the $50k goal.

Donations received during our Erg-A-Thon will benefit:

• Scholarship Program (50% of our youth athletes receive scholarship funding)
• Summer Camps that allow us to introduce students from all backgrounds to the sport
• Partnerships that support veterans and cancer survivors
• Needed equipment to keep our fleet in first class condition

Please help send more kids to rowing camp, help subsidize rowers in financial need & help develop a lifelong, year-round outdoor sport for our youth. This can be done through a tax deductible gift to Vero Beach Rowing, Inc., a section 501©(3) non-profit. Thank you for joining our efforts in supporting the largest number of youth athletes in Indian River County. Your donations will help these athletes develop necessary life skills for future success through the opportunity to row.

The foundation is established; our boathouse is open and staffed with coaches who bring a depth of knowledge and experience to Vero like never before. Now is the opportunity to expand and allow this great sport to positively impact others. Let's empower more lives, one stroke at a time.
