East Bay Rowing

9 hours ago

Please take the time to read this lovely letter from Kathleen Shannon:
Dear EBR Families

I am writing this email to you as a member of the EBR family -- as a parent and a rower -- asking you to join me in supporting EBR because this group means a lot to our community.

After almost 30 years of not rowing, I am back on the water. It is not only an amazing workout, but you can't beat the scenery at dawn and dusk. My daughter started three years ago with EBR Learn to Row -- the summer of 8th grade. She was a beginner with all the other 13 year olds. I now have the opportunity to row in sweeps with my daughter and share an extraordinary experience together.

What started out as a team run by an amazing local rowing couple, Pat and Deb Sullivan, with just a dozen participants and four single boats. Since then, the program has expanded to over 150 rowers ranging in ages from middle school students to adults. As a result of the rowing education provided by East Bay, 15 alumni have gone on to row at competitive colleges and university across the United States, such as University of Rochester, Ithaca and St. Joe’s. These alumni tribute their academic success from the education and opportunity provided by EBR. Additionally, East Bay Rowing has expanded to a fleet of 17 boats to include a mix of singles, 4s, and 8s, and has competes in 10 regattas annually, such as the Head of the Charles.

In order to support new members and the aspirations of our rowing community, while maintaining its amazing culture, Deb and Pat need our help in purchasing and maintaining equipment, hiring more coaches, supporting student scholarships and paying for regattas. This year, EBR has a goal of $30,000 to purchase a new boat. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying potential corporate sponsors and assistance with securing items for our silent auction. If you have ideas for the silent auction, please contact Nicole Martin at nkmartin22@yahoo.com. Also, attached is the corporate sponsors packages if you wish to share with others. Please contact Allison Kerivan at allison.morgan.kerivan@gmail.com if you have any thoughts or questions.

I think we can help EBR not only stay afloat, but become a leading team. I invite you to join us on November 4 for EBR's 5 year anniversary party, show your support through the most generous gift you can make, and to encourage community partners to join as corporate sponsors! Save the Date below.

Best,

HUGE SHOUT OUT: To Kayli Antons, Emilia McGibbon, Abby Putnam, Emily Kazounis and Brynne Hervey for spending 2 hours of their afternoon today to make the oars look brand new again! They clean, sanded and re-painted all 54 oars!!! Karen Antons, thanks for keeping them on task and THANK YOU GIRLS!!!

We are going to protect the boats and 'new' oars M-W of this week because of the predicted wind late Mon-Wed. Getting on the ergs allows coaches to teach some technique as well as have the rowers really pull hard! Hurricane Jose is actually giving us a nice opportunity.
