We are a rowing organization that welcomes all cancer survivors. In 2019 we opened our program participation to those who support our rowers and our organization’s mission. Whether you are new to rowing or row at a competitive level, the program is designed to maximize your opportunity to fulfill your personal goals.

Our Mission

ROCCREW is committed to serving the physical and emotional needs of all cancer survivors. Through our shared rowing experience, we find a means to maintain wellness for our bodies, and courage and determination for our spirit. 

We find healing on the water through the power of our commitment, and we hope to provide inspiration to all of those who face the challenges of cancer. 

We are supporting people who have faced cancer or are currently under treatment by providing physical conditioning, rehabilitation, education, and camaraderie.

Our Name

Our name has changed, but our Mission and Vision remain the same.

You may remember us as Naiades Oncology Rowing, a name that touched, inspired and challenged past and present rowers in so many ways.  Now we are ROCCREW – Naiades Rowing Over Cancer, a new name that resonates well within the community, yet acknowledges our esteemed heritage.
