Pensacola Rowing- Storm Recovery
Donation protected
Hi, folks! We're the Pensacola Rowing Club. We're a fledgling club established on the bayous of the Gulf Coast in 2013. Last week, the first of two major storms, both spawing tornadoes, ripped through Pensacola, Fl. Unfortunately, our club's boatyard was in the path of a microburst. The result was that our boats (and their racks) were picked up and deposited 150' from their original location. Seven boats were ripped into pieces (see photo), effectively putting an end to our club's weekly activities and bringing our plans to bring youth rowing to the area to a grinding halt.
We need help, please! We're asking the local community and the nation's rowing community for donations that will enable us to start over, bringing reliable boats and gear as well as building us covered storage for our fleet so that we may restart our programs and bring competitive rowing to the youth of Pensacola.
Springtime here means that the life aquatic starts anew. We want Pensacolians to see us out there, oars digging into the shimmering Emerald waters!
We're indebted to the residents of Pensacola, who've accepted the club and the sport of rowing as a natural part of the community and we're grateful for each and every one of you who've taken the time to read our plea.
Won't you please help us continue our rowing legacy by donating to our cause?
