This year we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Row for the Cure event in Atlanta!  Our goal is 100% participation from AJRA rowers and coaches.  Participation means rowing with the team on September 17th and/or raising funds for Row for the Cure.

US Rowing has long supported  Row for the Cure as its philanthropic endeavor.  In conjunction with this National commitment, Atlanta Junior Rowing Association decided to join the national rowing community in support of this charitable event in 2008.  Since then, AJRA has raised over $12,000 in the fight against breast cancer.

The Atlanta rowing community will keep boats on the Chattahoochee for 12 hours on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at Azalea Park Pavilion, Roswell, GA between 7am and 7pm.  All AJRA rowers are asked to participate in the event. Rowers may sign up at www.rowforthecureatlanta.org  AJRA coaches will organize their practices throughout the day.  Breakfast and lunch is provided for rowers and every rower receives a pink bandana to wear in support of Row for the Cure.  There will be food and fun activities that will be going on at Azalea Park Pavilion so bring your friends and family to watch and enjoy the day!
