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!

We are incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful supporters behind us.

A heartfelt thank-you to Jack and Donna DePeters, Billy and Sarah Farmer, Tim and Marcia Lawless, the Theodore & Cashmere Mendick Foundation, John and Julie Odenbach, and Eric Rueckwald and Anna Onishi.

Because of their generosity, we were able to purchase Optimist Prams for our Junior Program—helping even more kids get out on the water and discover the joy of sailing.
