Row for Hope

Join us for Row for Hope, a fun, high-energy, family-friendly community event where every meter rowed helps move progress forward for young people diagnosed with cancer!

Inspired by Columbus resident Pat Barger, who during his life with cancer wanted to bring the community together in support of families facing a diagnosis, Row for Hope turns collective effort into meaningful impact. Together, our goal is to row ONE MILLION METERS — and every stroke counts.

This fundraiser supports Elevate Childhood Cancer Research and Advocacy, a Columbus, Indiana–based nonprofit committed to:

Advancing precision medicine for children and young people facing cancer

Empowering families from day one of diagnosis with high-quality information about treatment, decision-making, and survivorship

Sign up as an individual or gather friends, family, coworkers, or teammates to row together. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or trying a rowing machine for the first time, everyone can participate.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us turn meters into momentum.

Together, we will row ONE MILLION METERS for hope.
