Corporate Team Building
More Corporate Team Building Success

We have many exciting opportunities to share our success in our Corporate Team Building Events. Please follow the link below to help by volunteering or coxing any of these exciting events. This page will be updated regularly so please check often for newer additions. We can always use volunteers and coxswains to help deliver a great experience and expand our community. 


Corporate Challenge Cup
Win it for Your Company


Want to win the Corporate Challenge Cup for your company?  You can do so through the Charles River Rowing League which got off to a great start this week.  For the first week, the coaches were busy getting their boats organized and getting the new rowers comfortable with their rowing stroke on the ergs.  Each CRRL group spent the first session on the ergs and touring the boathouse and getting their first water strokes in with the Dockbox.  Week two will be on the water in the rowing catamarans, then Week three and beyond  will be launching in 8+s.  If you see these CRRL participants out there, please give them your encouragement, they are all very excited to learn to row.    

 

This year, Charles River Rowing League will run in 3 sessions throughout the year. 

  • Session 2 starts the week of June 30th
  • Session 3 starts the week of August 11th

 

If you know any individuals or companies interested in putting together a corporate team, have them reach out to Jeff Nelson at:  jeff.nelson@commmunityrowing.org

 
Once again, this year, all CRRL participants will be eligible to race for the Corporate Challenge Cup at the CRI Fall Classic Regatta on September 19th.


 

Host a Para Rower!
US National Team LTA 4+

CRI will be selecting the US National Team LTA 4+ that will compete at the World Championships this summer. Once the 4+ is selected, we will need host family homes for the athletes from July 16th - August 21st.

Host families have been invaluable to the athlete experience while they are away from home and preparing for intense competition. Host families will receive a small stipend to cover expenses.  

If you are interested in hosting one of these outstanding athletes, please contact Ellen Minzner, Head Coach for the USA LTA 4+ at ellen@communityrowing.org

Thank you for all of your support!
Row the Prouty
Saturday, July 11, 2015


Join others from CRI and "Row the Prouty". This is an annual fundraising event in Hanover, NH to benefit the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center.


Row 5, 10, 15 or 20 miles up and back on the Connecticut River, launching from the Dartmouth Boathouse. This is NOT a race so it is an ideal opportunity for all rowers, recreational and competitive, to partake in a team event on another river.


 

If you don't have your own boat, you can sign up for a club boat. The event is open to all boat classes: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8+.


There is no entry fee but there is a fundraising minimum of $150 per entrant.


Let me know if you're interested or have any questions.  I will again be acting as the informal "team captain" for CRI-ers interested in going.  My e-mail is: rsebok@gmail.com


Thanks!

Rony Sebok
