FUN Raising Dudes, Competition for a Cause

The East Bay Rowing Club and its youth rowing program, Oakland United Rowing, is the home of rowing in Oakland and the communities of the East Bay. With a mission of "Changing Lives One Stroke at a Time", we serve as a model for the successful integration of top-notch rowing and true inclusivity by reflecting the diversity of our community in the East Bay.

Rowing is the ultimate team sport. As a Club, our success depends on all rowers giving their greatest possible effort together in perfect unison on and off the water. At EBRC, we believe that every member of the Oakland community deserves the opportunity to develop life-long fitness, mental health and social benefits through the elements of recreational and competitive rowing. We believe our members are capable of greatness when we provide them with opportunities and support, and we rely on community support to make life-changing outdoor experiences affordable and accessible for all.

The ultimate challenge is making rowing accessible to everyone through reasonable fees, a youth program and scholarships while building a fleet of equipment for both our masters and youth rowers. With this fundraising effort, Competition for a Cause, we hope to raise enough funds to replace all compromised launches and to add to our fleet of boats and new equipment. We hope you will make a contribution in support of making rowing accessible to communities of the East Bay , underserved youth, and providing a positive experience on and off the water!
