Rising Tide of Gifts Raises All Ships at High Point Rowing Club

2016 saw a record number of donors supporting High Point Rowing Club.

“This increase in philanthropic support truly buoyed High Point Rowing Club in 2016,” says club founder Gene Kininmonth, who says the generous gifts led to the installation of permanent boat racks at Oak Hollow Lake as well as additional shells and safety boats.

Kininmonth says the Club has lofty goals for 2017, which includes plans for a boathouse at Oak Hollow Lake and buoyed race course, and he hopes the philanthropic support will continue to surge though the upcoming Ergathon fundraiser, as well as year-end giving.

“I have always loved the sport of rowing and so I am also very fond of these wonderful people who share this passion,” says Gene.
