Row for the Cure® - Atlanta Row-a-thon 2011
Thank you to our rowers, donors, sponsors and volunteers for a great Row for the Cure® Atlanta on Saturday, September 17. The 5th annual row-a-thon raised over $64,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Atlanta. Over 250 rowers from Atlanta Rowing Club, St. Andrew Rowing Club, Atlanta Junior Rowing Association, and Georgia State University Crew kept boats on the Chattahoochee throughout the day. Thirty five non-rowers from the community took advantage of Learn To Row sessions to introduce them to the sport of rowing.
Thanks for a great Row for the Cure 2011!

In 2007, the Head of the Hooch Regatta elected to follow USRowing’s lead in supporting Row for the Cure as its philanthropic endeavor. The Hooch encouraged all participating teams to hold their own Row for the Cure event and offered an online fundraising tool. ARC and Saint Andrew Rowing Club adopted Row for the Cure® as their local community service project, and the two clubs sponsored the first day-long rowathon on the Chattahoochee River. Georgia State and Atlanta Junior Rowing Association joined in 2008 and GA Tech followed in 2009. In 2010, Greater Atlanta Komen for the Cure brought corporate sponsorships of over $43,000 to the event.| Fundraising Totals | ||||||
