Rochester Community Boating Foundation

Today is Giving Tuesday, and we’d truly appreciate your support for our foundation!
Your generosity helps us continue our mission and keep making a meaningful impact in our community. Every gift — big, small, or somewhere in between — helps us do more good.

Thank you for thinking of us on this global day of giving!

Support the Rochester Community Boating Foundation on ROC the Day on December 2nd.

Help us keep Rochester’s waterfront open, active, and accessible for all. The Rochester Community Boating Foundation provides affordable community sailing programs, youth scholarships, safety training, and inclusive access to the water for individuals and families who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Your ROC the Day donation directly supports hands-on learning, fosters confidence and teamwork in local youth, and strengthens our community’s connection to the Genesee River and Lake Ontario.

Make a ripple that becomes a wave—support the Rochester Community Boating Foundation today!
