About
Oakland Strokes is one of the premier 501(c)3 nonprofit youth rowing organizations in the United States. We have produced 12 National Championship teams and won elite events all over the US and around the world. 3 Oakland Strokes Alumni Rowers even participated in the 2012 London Olympics.
What I’m Raising Money For
Ongoing and Capital Needs. Ongoing expenses not covered by rower dues are over $170,000 in 2014-2015. We also have capital needs of $100,000 to 150,000 each year for the purchase of boats, launches, and other capital equipment.
Why You Should Give
Perhaps the most important reason we would appreciate your support is that the Oakland Strokes is a very positive and powerful force in the lives of these youth rowers. We promote the following values which our rowers will retain long after they leave:
• Dedication and perseverance
• Self sacrifice
• Excellence
• Deep friendships with a wide group of individuals
• Lifelong fitness
• Teamwork
