2017 Golf Tournament - August 20th
Our August 20th 2017 Golf Tournament held at Lima Golf and Country Club was our most successful to date. Mother Nature provided us with a beautiful day and a great time was had by the golfers, volunteers, rowers and guests. Thank you to all our sponsors for making the day possible. Teams enjoyed lunch, then played 9 or 18 holes of golf followed by dinner and awards.

2017 Regattas
Naiades attends rowing events to participate and to spread awareness of our organization and the opportunity for other women in our community to be involved in ROWING FOR RECOVERY.
Regattas held Fall 2017 include:
- Pittsford Regatta - May 27th & 28th.
The regatta is held on the Erie Canal in Pittsford, NY. The canal is ideal for racing, as it is sheltered flat water with very little boat traffic. All master's events (singles, doubles, fours, and eights) are held over a 1200 meter course, run head style. A bicycle path extends the length of the course for great spectator viewing. The finish line is in the picturesque village of Pittsford, with wonderful opportunities to view the race, shop and eat. The first day of the 2017 Pittsford Regatta (Saturday, May 27) will coincide with the 3rd annual Pittsford Paddle & Pour event, featuring craft beer and wine tasting, live music all day, and an artisan marketplace. - Fairport's Lift Bridge Regatta - September 17th.
- Rochester's Head of the Genesee (HOG) - October 7th & 8th
- Buffalo's Head of the Niagara and Wright Regatta - October 15th.
- Philadelphia's Head of the Schuylkill Regatta - October 28th & 29th.
Row It Forward Scholarship
The mission of Naiades Oncology Rowing is to serve the physical and emotional needs of cancer survivors through a shared rowing experience that fosters wellness, courage, determination and healing. The cost of maintaining this rowing program is considerable and is funded in significant part by fees paid by each participant.
Our mission is frustrated whenever these fees present a barrier for those most in need of experiencing the best that Naiades has to offer. For this reason, the Board of Directors has established the Row It Forward Financial Support Scholarship Program, supported by a dedicated fund and on-going donations, for those who need financial assistance to participate in Naiades programs. For more information, check the program description above. To apply, complete the Application and submit it for consideration.
"SPIRIT" Fundraiser
Naiades Oncology Rowing is a team of cancer survivors who use the water and this great sport to come together as one for physical and emotional healing from the battle they have fought. We ask you to share your story or that of your loved one with us as we build this team and acquire much needed equipment.
Our fundraiser, to “fill a new boat” with the spirits of those affected by cancer, continues and it is not too late to have your loved ones — both survivors and victims — remembered on the sides of our new boat, launched on May 16th of 2015 !
Donations are still welcomed to support our equipment fundraising and can be made directly through
