ERG-A-THON: Crews Control Raises Funds for Youth

Catch em' if you can! Crews Control is at it again.....racing funds for youth. All Star Masters rowers representing the East Bay Rowing Club Women's Competitive team at the Oakland United Rowing annual ERG-A-THON on September 24, 2023. Go the distance with us as we erg for OUR by making a donation today! Together with my team, we hope to raise $4,000 to contribute to the overall annual youth fundraising goal of $32,000 for 2023-24.

East Bay Rowing Club is the home of community rowing in Oakland and the East Bay. We value the rich diversity of the communities we serve, and have youth and adult rowing programs that include those who want to learn, recreational rowers and those who compete regionally and nationally. In 2013, we established the Oakland United Rowing (OUR) program to foster positive opportunities for youth to develop leadership and team-building skills, mental and physical health through the sport of rowing. OUR does not receive funding from the Oakland Unified School District, but together we can raise the funds needed to support our local youth experience the sport of rowing.

Funds raised through the ERG-A-THON will provide our youth rowers with uniforms, fees to compete at regattas, and create a Scholarship Fund for those in need of financial assistance to participate in OUR. Make a donation today to join me in supporting positive opportunities for high-school aged youth in the City of Oakland!
