Fundraising and Charitable Giving

CBRC is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax status. Our programs are supported primarily by volunteers with the exception of our professional coaching staff. Donations are gratefully accepted at any time. We also host a variety of charitable giving events throughout the year.

Donations to CBRC support all of our programs or can be targeted at specific needs. Our goal in general club fundraising is to apply 100% of donations to equipment needs. From racing shells, oars, and cox boxes, to coaching launches and spare parts, equipment needs for a vibrant rowing club such as ours are a constant challenge. To our donors, we commit that gifts to CBRC directly support our rowing programs and are used for no other purpose.

Two of our specific charitable giving opportunities bear specific mention:

Scholarships. At CBRC we are deeply committed to providing a rowing experience to anyone without regard to ability to pay. Scholarship applications are confidentially accepted and welcomed.

Boat Naming. Substantial contributions toward boat purchases are a visible and rewarding support opportunity. A new eight-person shell can cost as much as $35 thousand dollars. For donors having the ability to substantially contribute to such purchases, lasting recognition is available through naming opportunities.

Rowing For Donations: The Erg-a-thon October 29th, 2011

CBRC's Erg-a-thon is all about NO PAIN, NO GAIN. How far can you row if there's money to be made for a new boat or perhaps new oars? The CBRC rowers find out each fall.Through donations per meter the junior's rowers set their own fundraising target, set their own equipment priority and raise donations the old fashioned way, THEY EARN IT!
