Want to join me in making a difference? East Bay Rowing Club needs your support to make outdoor fitness accessible for ALL in Oakland and the East Bay. Thanks in advance for your tax-deductible contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Everyone has the right to be healthy. Physical activity is an important component of healthy lifestyles and fundamental to preventing diseases. The reality is there are many barriers to this.

Many people want to contribute to organizations that promote health equity in their community, but aren’t sure who to support.

Based out of Oakland, our non-profit 501(c)(3), the East Bay Rowing Club, is proud to offer access to fitness programs right on the Oakland Estuary! From highschoolers to Masters (our oldest team member is 84!), this lifelong sport promotes cardiovascular strength, mental focus, and teamwork.

We have been, and continue to be, committed to making rowing and the opportunities it provides accessible to ALL through financial assistance to rowers in need. We are committed to reducing health disparities in communities of color and breaking down barriers to health. We offer free community learn-to row sessions for Oakland adults, and fully fund the Oakland Tech high school rowing program without any assistance from OUSD. But maintaining heavily used boats and equipment to keep our rowers and coaches safe while keeping dues as low as possible for community members comes at a significant cost, and we cannot continue to sustain these programs without your support.

I invite you to contribute a recurring or one-time tax-deductible donation to East Bay Rowing Club, so that we may continue our mission of giving the Oakland community the tools to live a healthier life. With your contribution, we can sustain and grow this life-changing pathway to health equity for ALL in the East Bay.
