Row for the Cure Details
Together we Thrive! Row for the Cure is the rowing and water-sports community's crusade against breast cancer. Celebrating 27 years and to date have raised over $3.0 million to benefit local affiliates of Susan G. Komen. We are grateful to our partners: USRowing,Regatta Central, Concept 2, Scull and Sweep, JL Racin and Rowing News for their ongoing support. With one in eight women being diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, the need to fight this disease resonates clearly in rowing, where teamwork, camaraderie and passion align to make this a powerful sport for junior, collegiate and masters rowers. The inspiration of Portland, Oregon rower Kathy Frederick, the initial Row for the Cure took place in 1993 on Portland's Willamette River as a way for the rowing community to support runners and walkers participating in the Rose City's Race for the Cure. That first regatta raised a modest $1,500. Row for the Cure Seattle reached a milestone in 2018, recording a total contribution to Komen Puget Sound of over 1 million dollars. Today, with indoor rowing competitions and outdoor regattas, Row for the Cure has blossomed into a multi-sport event that includes athletes of all ages representing four sports; rowing, canoe/kayak, dragon boat and Native American paddling. With over 20 cities having hosted a Row for the Cure, participants now raise over $300,000 annually, rowing and paddling together to save lives in their local communities.We would love to welcome new events on to our calendar and have a team which can help any group get started.
