The goal of Freedom Rowers is to help youth and adults become all they have the potential to be through the sport of rowing. We will encourage young people to strive and succeed. We will create an environment in which they are free to fail. Free to challenge others. Free to appreciate the beauty of nature, the wind at their back, the blisters on their hands, the sound of their oars and the feeling of power that comes from the propulsion their strokes provide.
In a world of noise and chaos we will encourage people to experience the silence of the world of water at rest. We will encourage them to exult in victory and understand that they may cry in defeat because they are free to reset their goals and strive for triumph another day. Participants in our organization have opportunity to do what can only be done in a free country where people use their wealth and vision to make an experience free to those who would not otherwise have it. Here young people can develop strong bodies, disciplined minds, and camaraderie to lead them to be defenders of the freedoms we cherish.
We offer freedom to stand tall, freedom to stoop low, freedom to raise people up. Celebrating what we have freely received, we are committed to giving.
