Rebuild the OAR Dock. Relaunch the Future.

We’re thrilled to share that on October 18, our brand-new dock arrived! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to make a down payment using the donations received so far. As of late October, we're about 27% toward our $50,000 goal—a fantastic start! But we still have a long way to go to fully pay it off, so we need your continued support to keep the momentum going.

Made up of 12 interlocking sections, the 80x10 foot E-Z Dock low-profile floating dock is a modern, stable design will serve not just our rowing program, but the entire waterfront community—including kayakers, canoeists, stand-up paddleboarders, and other recreational users who rely on safe access to the water.

The total cost for the new dock is $50,000. You can help fund it by sponsoring a section for $4,167, or by donating any amount that fits your budget. Every gift—big or small—makes a tangible difference.

We’re asking for your continued support to help us invest in a safer, stronger future for our community—especially the youth rowers who rely on this space to grow, connect, and challenge themselves.

Rowing teaches resilience, teamwork, and confidence. But none of that happens without a solid place to launch.

Your gift will help us finish what we started—and ensure the next generation of rowers can begin their journeys on the best foundation possible.
