2025 FALL RENT-a-ROWER FUNDRAISER

As the leaves start to fall, yardwork and outdoor projects can quickly pile up. Charlotte Youth Rowing’s Rent-a-Rower program connects you with hardworking athletes ready to help with raking, mulching, stacking wood, cleaning up gardens, and other fall chores.

Your donation doesn’t just get the job done — it directly supports CYR athletes and the future of our rowing program. With your help, our rowers can stay focused on training, competition, and representing Charlotte with pride.

Let our rowers bring their energy and teamwork to your fall projects — while you support youth athletics in our community.
