Power Rowing & Local Charity Fund Raising
More than a place to improve yourself.
Healthy individuals form healthy communities. Power Rowing's vision for this studio has always been to build and support a healthier community, individual by individual, and family by family. The good of one is meant to strengthen and contribute to the whole.​
​
Our Power Rowing challenges have raised awareness and support for causes our members care about as part of the greater community. Our first one in 2018, we raised approximately $8,000 for various local charities through these initiatives. Through lean times and even Covid, Power Rowing has remained true to its core value, giving back to the community makes everyone healthier. This conviction, deeply held, serves as the foundation of our business model. “Rowing Changes Lives” is more than a motto: it is our mission. Since inception, we have raised over $50,000.
