In Motion

STRENGTH COMES FROM MOVEMENT AND COMMUNITY.

ROW means becoming part of a vibrant community of empowered athletes who lift each other up and stand strong together. Whether you're navigating treatment or simply seeking a place to connect, our team welcomes breast cancer patients and survivors—including female-identifying and nonbinary individuals—and is here for you—ready to listen, support, and celebrate every step of your journey.

 

SUPPORT ONE MORE WOMAN.

HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

 
Every donation helps bring another individual closer to reclaiming their body, finding strength through community, and staying resilient against breast cancer. By joining the Ripple Effect or making a one-time donation, you help breast cancer patients and survivors embrace their new normal and thrive with the support of an inspiring network of peers.
 
STRONG TOGETHER: THE POWER OF TEAMWORK

At Recovery on Water, we believe in the transformative power of sport and the strength of teamwork. Whether you are still in treatment or well along the path of survivorship, ROW welcomes all breast cancer patients and survivors—including female-identifying and nonbinary individuals. As shared by one of our athletes: “I had never competed or been on a sports team before. Joining ROW boosted my confidence in my athletic ability and showed me that I’m capable of tackling hard or new challenges.”

 
 

ELEVATE YOUR BRAND

WITH PHILANTHROPY

Rowing transforms lives, but it’s a costly endeavor. By sponsoring our year-round programs for breast cancer patients and survivors, you’re not just funding a sport—you’re empowering recovery and building community. Our success relies on the commitment of generous supporters like you, from both large corporations and local businesses. Help us give these brave individuals a powerful new chapter.
