Support BCR's Mission: Rowing for Every Child

Those of us lucky enough to row at BCR know the joy of swing when a crew of four rowers are moving in sync. We know the full-body workout that rowing gives us. And share a love of being outside on beautiful Lake Onota. But mostly we know the joy of rowing that’s indescribable, the feeling of the heart soaring as you drive through the water. Parents of rowers know the joy and excitement of their kids coming home from practice all lit up, awake, strong, fully in their bodies. Berkshire Community Rowing makes it all possible. But making it possible costs money.

And we have another, higher purpose at BCR which is to bring rowing to a part of our Berkshire community that may not see themselves as fitting into the sport of rowing. Perhaps they see rowing as an elite, collegiate sport, or maybe they don’t know anything about rowing at all. We want them to know about it. We want them to give it a try, and to see themselves as belonging to our crew. In 2024, we’ve made great strides to realize this mission, and you can make a difference here. Your donation will help fund our scholarship program so that any Berkshire county child can get in a boat and give it a try. Please help us make that possible.
