Harlem River Community Rowing - Development is fundraising
New Year, New Boat! Help Harlem River Community Rowing Grow
Harlem River Community Rowing is growing, and we need your help to keep the momentum going! We’re launching our "New Year, New Boat" fundraising campaign to purchase a new-to-us Vespoli 8+ and other critical operating needs, including 8x riggers—crucial investments that will allow more rowers to get on the water and strengthen our skills and our community.
Your name, our future
Name a seat: For $300 per seat, you can have your name permanently displayed on the new 8+, marking your support for our club’s next chapter. The first nine $300+ donations received by 21 April are eligible for seat naming (including the cox’s seat!) - donate now to secure your HRCR legacy!
Name our boat: The largest donation (over $2,500) that we receive by 21 April will also get first naming rights* to our new Vespoli! This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark on the Harlem River—whether you choose to honor a loved one or celebrate the community, your chosen name will be etched into HRCR history and seen by rowers for years to come.
Why this matters
This is more than just a new boat—it’s an investment in the growth of HRCR. Our incredible rowing experience is only made possible through your generous donations! Beyond our exciting new investments, we need to ensure our operating budget also stays afloat. Every penny counts, and here are the vital expenses each donation is supporting:
- Coaching – Keeping our experienced coaches on the water
- Maintenance – Caring for our fleet to keep rowers safe
- Accessible rowing – Keeping our programs no-cost and welcoming to all
We are rowing, we are growing - help us launch into 2025 and make waves for the future of Harlem River Community Rowing!
We're looking forward to a great year!
*The HRCR Board will review the chosen name and has the sole authority to reject the name if it considers it inconsistent with the HRCR's mission.
