From charity races and athletic challenges to glitzy galas and learn-to-row outings, ROW events are fun and at the heart of our fundraising and community-building efforts.
Whether you're here to compete, volunteer, donate, or simply have fun, we’ve got a place for you!
Join us for exciting events all year long! If you love staying active or prefer supporting women living with breast cancer in other ways, there's something for everyone. Check out our annual events below, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on what’s coming up!
ST. PAT’S SPRINT FOR RECOVERY

Whether you row, run, ride—or even jig—this lively event is all about movement, community, and making a difference. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting day!
POWER10 CAMP
Ready for a new type of summer camp? Power10 Camp is an annual event open to women and non-binary breast cancer survivors and previvors. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned masters rower, this four-day camp offers intensive rowing instruction, wellness education, and loads of good old-fashioned community fun!
Camp is typically held in early June with registration opening in January.
