Bainbridge Island Rowing is a non-profit, community-based organization, founded in January 2001, to serve youth and adult rowers throughout Kitsap County, from our base in Waterfront Park on Bainbridge island. Our programs currently support more than almost 100 Junior rowers per season -- spring, summer, and fall -- and some 70-80 Masters annually. Learn-to-Row program are offered each year from early spring through Labor Day.
While we raise most of our operating funds through program fees, we rely in large part on the kindness of friends and strangers -- rowers, parents, friends, and other well-wishers -- for funds to purchase sorely needed new equipment and, longer term, to build the boat house we all dream of having some day.
It's almost here!
DREAM BIG
2011
Saturday, November 12, 6-10 p.m. at Kiana Lodge.
Our goal this year is
to raise enough to purchase at least two more carbon fiber racing shells, so that there are enough seats for all our Junior and Master
rowings come next spring. With 95 Junior rowers and more than 80 Master rowers on the water regularly this past year, we aren't in Kansas any more! Dream Big 2011 beckons your participation and
support.
Still undecided? Take a sneak peak at the program and you'll be
