Volunteer with us!
Your commitment depends on your membership, but there are plenty of fun ways to get involved! Join the Board, help at regattas, or pitch in with everyday tasks like dock maintenance or laundry. It’s a great way to make friends, learn more about rowing, and keep the club running smoothly. Not sure where to start? Our communications director can help!
Fundraising
Bingos and casinos are our biggest fundraisers, bringing in over $125,000 to support coaching, facilities, and equipment. We host about 15 bingos a year at Parkway Bingo Hall and a casino every other year. Since workers must be 18+, we rely on parents and members to step up and help! ERC members commit to assisting or finding someone to cover their shift—check the registration page for more details.
