Since 1839, the Detroit Boat Club Crew has served as the home for rowing in Detroit. This year, we celebrate the return of the historic Oarsmen’s Ball, a fundraiser to support Friends of Detroit Rowing (FODR)’s campaign to build a new shellhouse (boat storage & training facility) that will help increase public access to the Detroit River and the sport of rowing.
Join us at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum for a black-tie optional shin-dig where you can explore the exhibits, stroll the halls, sample hors d’oeuvres, listen to jazz music, bid on auction items, enjoy the cash bar, and meet an Olympian or two.
Help make a significant impact on our community by educating our youth, supporting our veterans and the future of rowing. Funds raised will help ensure the success of FODR’s Share an Oar, Share the Shore Campaign. Together, we can inspire a new generation of rowers and ensure everyone can experience the beauty of the Detroit River.
