Support
Over many years and many challenges, the Detroit Boat Club Crew continues to share the art and discipline of rowing by instilling its athleticism, teamwork, and passion in others.
Please support a campaign to help transform Friends of Detroit Rowing and create an indelible impact on our youth.
Share an Oar… Share the Shore
Due to the closure of the Belle Isle Boathouse, Friends of Detroit Rowing is building a new facility to accommodate the growing number of adult and youth participants in the sport.
Friends of Detroit Rowing is seeking $4.8 million in contributions to increase access to rowing in Metro Detroit.
This comprehensive campaign will raise $3.5 million in capital investments to build facilities for on-site training opportunities and year round storage of equipment.
It will also raise $1.3 million to help us continue our existing programs and offer rowing to a much wider and more inclusive audience.
