Coaching was never a goal of mine until I met the community surrounding the PCRA boathouse. It took a short amount of time for me to realize the best part of my day was the time I had on the water with these fantastic rowers.
I cannot imagine who I would be today if not for the amazing lessons rowing has taught me. It continues to show me how tough I can be and reminds me no challenge is unattainable. My biggest hope for all the rowers I coach is that they develop a love and appreciation of sports as strong as mine and that they never want to leave the peace that can be found on the water.
Please help our program to continue to make rowing and all it's wonderful benefits accessible to all members of our community!
Thank you for your support in helping us meet our ambitious annual fundraising goal of $75,000.00 by March 5th. PCRA’s fees cover operating expenses, but our equipment is purchased exclusively through fundraising.
This year we aim to purchase much needed new rowing shells for our club as well as sorely needed spare parts to maintain our existing fleet.
A new racing shell costs between $20,000 and $40,000 depending on the size and manufacturer, and is hand crafted with carbon fiber.
Pelham Community Rowing Association is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and as such your donation is fully tax deductible. We will be happy to furnish receipts for donations.
We expect the average distance erged by our athlete’s team of 3 to be 18,000m during their allotted 90 minutes. Our athletes vary greatly in age, size and experience (12 to 70 years old!) and results will likely range between 18,000m and 24,000m.
