OAR depends on donations large and small to continue its mission of providing rowing opportunities in the community. Your contribution will fund facility improvements, and offset cost of participation for athletes. For 2025, club leadership has identified 2 mission-critical fundraising initiatives:
- Re-energizing the Gretchen Steiger Scholarship Fund. Goal: $15,000
- Replacing the rapidly deteriorating dock. Goal: $50,000
We’ve created 2 campaigns for these initiatives. Your contribution goes directly towards supporting efforts to keep rowing alive and well in the Olympia Area!
Olympia Area Rowing Association is a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible.
