Many rowers and paddlers are so dedicated to their sport that when Breast Cancer touches their lives, the network of friends in the water community is a natural resource for making a difference. Now all water sport participants have a ready made avenue to make that happen.

Your donations will be distributed as grants to qualified programs which benefit cancer patients and survivors and toward research.

We support:

Community health organizations which support local cancer patients and their families with programs such as peer-to-peer counseling, financial assistance, patient navigation and transportation

Rowing organizations which empower cancer survivors through rehabilitation and exercise programs while providing camaraderie, support and socialization

Cutting-edge cancer research, conducted by Susan G. Komen, that will lead to new, more effective treatment, ultimately toward reducing cancer-related deaths and finding a cure.
