"SPIRIT" Fundraiser 2017-2018
Please join our team, either physically or by adding your name to our boat.

Our goal is to fill the sides of our boat by April 8th, 2018 and then launch all of our "spirits" on May 5th, 2018 at the Genesee Waterways Center. Names can still be added after the boat dedication.

2018 Golf Tournament - August 19th
The 2018 Golf Tournament is scheduled for Sunday August 19th at the Lima Golf and Country Club. Once again you will be able to register online. More details will be available here soon.
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.
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.
Donations
Donations are always welcomed and can be made directly through PayPal.
