Help Fund a New Quad – Every Gift Matched!

We're excited to offer a special matching gift opportunity to expand the VBR fleet. Our goal is simple: raise $12,000 to purchase a new quad (weight class 145 - 175 lbs., a newer version of our Friends quad). Friends has become a favorite among the women in our club, and adding a sister boat to the fleet will allow more rowers of all ages to spend more time on the water.

The total cost is approximately $44,000. Thanks to a generous $10,000 lead naming gift, we’re off to a strong start. If we can raise an additional $12,000, the VBR Board has committed to covering the remaining $22,000—putting us in position to bring this new boat home this winter season.

Your generosity is more than just a gift—it’s an investment in our athletes, our community, and the spirit of teamwork that defines our club. Thanks to you, more rowers will experience the joy, camaraderie, and growth that come from being out on the water.

Together, we're building something truly special. Go VeROW!
