Capital Fundraising Campaign 2005 

In 2005 the Tulsa Rowing Club, along with the University of Tulsa, is undertaking its largest fundraising campaign to date. Plans are being made to create the best facilities for rowing training in the Mid-America, if not the country. These plans include:

 

Jack Zink Indoor Rowing Center Having already completed a successful fundraising campaign, the University of Tulsa is constructing its new Indoor Rowing Center as a single-site facility in the easternmost section of Mabee Gymnasium containing: locker room, showers, etc. ergometer room equipment storage areas indoor 8-seat rowing tank Team offices Charles Boathouse Expansion The Charles Boathouse was dedicated in 1991 as Tulsa Rowing Club’s central meeting space, for practice, weight-training, and boat storage and repair.  TRC’s Juniors program and the University of Tulsa’s nationally-ranked women’s rowing team have exploded in the past two years, resulting in limited space for more than a few individuals to meet or train at any one time. The Expansion fundraising goal of $300,000 includes: a new bay to allow for more boats, equipment, and a fully-loaded trailer a new meeting room for film/video review, team meetings, and Club gatherings. An ergometer patio for outdoor land workouts.

The goals of Tulsa Rowing Club Juniors include to:

• Establish Tulsa, Oklahoma as the home of one of the best junior rowing programs in the country.

• Provide a competitive program that will put members of the TRC Juniors in good standing for rowing scholarships at competitive colleges and universities.

• Fund a racing schedule that allows TRC Juniors student athletes to travel across the country and around the world to the most competitive regattas.

• Develop potential athletes for the U.S. Junior National Rowing Team.
