<div>Ergathon 2024 on the books! The whole team did a great job getting to their goal - see below for the updated pics from this year!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Oakland United Rowing annual Ergathon will be on Sunday, November 17, this year and it is the largest fundraising event of the year for our youth Program. Oakland United Rowers and East Bay Rowing Club Masters will show up to go the distance on the ergometer to support the youth program!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join us in reaching our goal of $35,000 to make the sport of rowing accessible to high-school aged youth in the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). Come watch the kids row on the erg and cheer them on to meet their distance (and fundraising!) goals. Much of the funding earned will be used for need-based scholarships and programs to support kids from diverse backgrounds (including nutritional needs, swim lessons, and transportation). See details about specific costs for equipment and registration below. Your support will help us get as many students on the water as possible.

</div>
<div>Oakland United Rowing is one of only three rowing programs who focuses on recruiting from public high schools on the West Coast. East Bay Rowing Club (EBRC), a non-profit 501(c)(3), established the high school team to promote the sport of rowing in Oakland. The team is open to all OUSD and Oakland area 8th-grade and high school students. We are committed to the personal, athletic and academic excellence of each rower. We strive to be competitive while also prioritizing every athlete’s skill development in leadership, collaboration, and mental fortitude.
