Sponsorship

The Oak Ridge Rowing Association is a very special group of athletes, friends, family, volunteers and supporters.  We simply could not operate and provide the national level of events and services without support from everyone in the community near and far.

Melton Hill Lake Venue is one of top venues for flat water rowing, kayaking and dragon boating in the country.  The natural state of the calm water, low hills, pleasant temperatures, natural embayment, and geographic proximity make it ideal for training and competition.  The organization, city and state have made a great investment over the years and more is needed to continue the past work.  Please consider assisting us make the future even brighter for water based human powered sports.

The ORRA could not do the events and programs for youth and adults that we do without the support the community and Volunteers in various forms and if you are interested in helping us continue to serve our rowing visitors and others in and around our community please look at how you can help.
