Collective Regional Boathouse Power broadens audiences and introduces more young people to the sport

Erg Ed® awards Concept 2 grant to two new communities

After a meticulous grant application process, and a thorough analysis of all candidates who applied for an Erg Ed grant this year, we are pleased to announce new partnerships with the Cherokee County School District and Allatoona Rowing Association in Cherokee County, GA and School District 65 and North Channel Community Rowing in Evanston, IL. These awardees' community programs are creating more access to and forging a viable path for young people to experience the life-changing sport of rowing! 

Welcome to the team, Kieanna!

John Holt writes to the members of the new PRC formation in this letter.

The George Pocock Rowing Foundation (“GPRF”) launches a new independent organization focused on creating rowing opportunities for Adult Rowers, Pocock Rowing Club (“PRC”), located at the George Pocock Memorial Rowing Center (“GPMRC”). Rachel Le Mieux named the new club’s initial Executive Director.

The George Pocock Rowing Foundation is proud to announce a new grant program in a three-year partnership with Concept2 to support the efforts of GPRF’s Erg Ed® program.

Camp Lucy is a rowing camp that’s not just about rowing.

Mark Davis is the Athlete Support and Retention Manager at the GPRF.

“The community that grows from doing challenging things together is one of the greatest strengths of this team and this sport.”

We sat down with Helen Tilghman to ask her some questions that have been circulating recently in our minds and in our boathouse.

73% of participants would recommend Camp Lucy to a friend.

At the George Pocock Rowing Foundation, we have recently taken a look at all our programs and how they fit into the greater mission of our organization. The Athlete Support & Retention program is a region-wide direct support of young people wanting to access and experience the sport of rowing.

This presentation reviews the program as a whole, the changes we have made and our vision for the future.

Welcome to the GPRF Team, Jill!
