Help the Bowen Water Polo Family

My name is Andrew, and I've been the volunteer strength coach for the Santana boys High School team for the last 10 years with Coach Rod Bowen. We have become good friends over the years. Coach Bowen has even mentored and coached all three of my boys in High School, and one at the club level.

Coach Bowen, and his wife, Barb, would love to travel to Paris this summer to watch their son, Alex Bowen, compete in the Olympics. Coach Bowen's love for the game, and the way he inspires young men to be the best they can be makes him a favorite of players and parents. He immensely cares about his players, both in and out of the water. Rod has been very successful coaching water polo at various levels, giving countless hours to the community for the last 30 plus years. Rod also coaches the boys 16U team for the San Diego Shores Water Polo Club where he has won numerous medals and trophies, as well as the USA water polo Olympic Development Program.

Alex went to Santana High School and played Division 1 water polo at Stanford University. In 2013, while attending Stanford University, Alex earned a position on the USA men's national team. Alex currently plays professionally in France, and comes home to Santee, California when feasible. When possible, Alex volunteers his time for Rod's High School team, along with San Diego Shores.

Now is our chance to give back to Coach and Barb. Let's give them the opportunity to watch their son play the game we all love at the Olympics this summer. If you're able to do so, please help by donating and sharing the fundraiser to get Coach and Barb to Paris! Donations will be used to help pay for transportations costs, hotel stays, and other travel expenses.

Thank you!
