Friends of Oregon Rowing Spring Banquet 2026
Celebrate the past, present, and future with the UO Rowing community!
Celebrate the legacy of Oregon Rowing at the fifth annual Friends of Oregon Rowing Spring Banquet! This will be a memorable evening of reconnecting with past and present rowers, enjoying a delicious catered dinner, and sharing memories, as we come together to support the future of Oregon Rowing.
We look forward to reminiscing about time on the water and hearing about the team’s latest accomplishments, together as a rowing community. From current rowers to golden graduates, the bond of the boat never fades.
Special guests this year include members of the UO Marching Band and . . . the Duck! Enjoy games and group photos by era, plus a special presentation by the Oregon Rowing team! What is a day in the life of a current UO Rower? Find out on Saturday, April 4. Meet new friends and reunite with old ones as we all lift our blades for our current team.
All proceeds from the event support the efforts of Friends of Oregon Rowing. The Friends of Oregon Rowing board works closely with the UO Rowing team and coaches to identify priority needs for the rowing program to direct donations that help provide the resources and opportunities that make Oregon Rowing exceptional.
All attendees must create a School Auction Net account to participate in the Paddle Raise fundraising. We recommend vaulting your card for ease during the event.
