The Cleveland Rowing Foundation is dedicated to expanding access to Cleveland’s rivers and waterways for communities where water recreation is not always accessible, affordable, or familiar. Through partnerships with local organizations, the foundation serves youth, veterans, and para athletes with educational and recreational rowing programs. With support from the Port, the organization aims to expand its impact through year-round programming, youth mentorship opportunities, veteran initiatives, and increased community education and engagement.
