Friends of Detroit Rowing

The mission of the Friends of Detroit Rowing is to educate and promote the sport of amateur rowing in the Detroit metropolitan community, provide competitive and recreational programs to men and women of all ages, and training opportunities to rowers competing at the national, international, and Olympic level.


The Friends of Detroit Rowing (FoDR) was organized in 1973 at the Detroit Boat Club as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the education of people about the sport of rowing in the Detroit metropolitan area and to sponsor elite rowing competition. Friends of Detroit Rowing and the Detroit Boat Club are unique and separate organizations and share no legal connection. Club memberships are not shared and there are no financial or other organizational connections between FODR and DBC. The Detroit Boat Club is a social and boating club which supports DBC rowing by authorizing the continued use of the Detroit Boat Club name and burgee by FODR when FODR members and FODR-sponsored crews are involved in rowing competitions.
