Sponsors of Gentle Giant Rowing Club

GGRC simply could not do the work we do without the support of sponsors.  Our masters programming is self funding but our Juniors program and the outreach programs we do are not.  GGRC currently works with Somerville High School, Everett High School, and Children's Hospital to provide access to rowing.  The money we receive in donations allow us to purchase new equipment and maintain our current equipment at peak levels.  We thank our sponsors for their support!

This page is to recognize our 2025 sponsors for their support.
