Friends of Oregon Rowing Welcome Back 2026
Enjoy a day at Dexter Lake with the Friends of Oregon Rowing.
Welcome back, rowers! Join the Friends of Oregon Rowing at Dexter Lake for our fall tradition, as we kick off another season and celebrate the Oregon Rowing team. This gathering brings alumni and current crew members together to honor our shared legacy, reconnect with friends and teammates, and show support for the 2027–2028 team. Alumni and friends can watch this year’s crew race on the water, with the opportunity to get back into the boat yourself! Wear a blazer if you have one and prepare to don a boater hat on arrival—you'll almost feel like you’re on the Thames!
🌮 A delicious catered brunch by Pandita will be offered from 10:00-11:00am. 🤤
We’ll also share the latest on the boathouse fundraising campaign and our new DuckFunder campaign to support the future of Oregon Rowing. Come hang out, hear what’s next, and learn how you can be part of the effort to build a home that will keep the club rowing.
