Fundraising

Row Georgia is a not-for-profit, 501c3 organization established in August 2015 to encourage and further the instruction, improvement, and competition in and the enjoyment of rowing. Fees raised through our programs are used to fund coach's salaries, equipment leases, insurance, and other operational expenses. All other positions are voluntary. Donations are tax deductible.

Zelle donations can be made to: treasurer.rowptc@gmail.com.

Our program is made up of rowers from multiple schools and counties across the Southside of Atlanta. The athletes hold an annual fundraising raffle sales each December. Proceeds go toward equipment maintenance, much needed equipment purchases and to building a boathouse. However, rising costs delayed progress which impacted program options for the community we serve. With proper care and maintenance, our boats and equipment will last for years and having a boathouse, storing and caring for everything inside and away from the elements, increases the life of rowing equipment. A permanent structure also provides indoor training options as the teams currently train in a tent on Lake McIntosh.

Because of the generous donations of site clearing and grading services from Brent Scarbrough & Co. Inc., the businesses who donate to make the Twelve Days of Christmas fundraiser possible and to all the community members who buy the raffle tickets, Row Georgia is breaking ground on its first permanent structure at Lake McIntosh! This will allow the program to move training equipment, such as ergometers (rowing machines), out of the current tent and into a structure, called an "erg house". This building not only will protect the equipment, but also allow rowers to continue training inside during inclement weather.

Our rowing teams connect with local businesses who donate items to the daily prize packages. This fundraiser is popular! One ticket gets you thirteen chances to win! Each drawing is broadcast live on our social media.

Below is an image that provides an idea of how many items were in the daily drawing prize packages.

On the raffle tickets, the cards Rusna is holding in the photo below, your business will be prominently displayed and will be featured on our website and social media.

The bonus 13th drawing is for $1,000 cash! Instead of donating an item or service, you can also donate cash for the drawing. Each prize package is creatively packaged and delivered to every winner.

If you have a fundraising idea to help us finish building a permanent structure and purchase much needed equipment, please email us at fundraising.rowptc@gmail.com and boathouse.rowptc@gmail.com.
