Charity of Choice
The Vancouver Community Corporate Rowing Challenge will make a difference in the community. Event participants, sponsors and supporters are raising funds in support of Dynamic Opportunities for Youth, a national rowing program, designed to share the lessons and benefits of sport with youth at risk by teaching focus, discipline, goal setting, and promotion of self esteem. Each year, this program allows approximately 500 youth at risk participate in the program for free in rowing clubs across Canada each year. Dynamic Opportunities for Youth is designed and produced by Go Rowing and Paddling Association of Canada, a non-profit Canadian Athletic Association, and registered charity, that exists to engage and participate in activities and projects that support, promote, and advance rowing and paddling sports in Canada.

Since 2005, the event has raised $11,000 for the program. In 2008, we
hope to raise $9000, which will put over 50 youth through the program
in the Lower Mainland this year! For more information on Dynamic
