Our History | The 30th Anniversary of the Pocock Foundation

George Pocock believed that anyone who had the desire to row should have the opportunity to participate in the sport and pursue excellence at the highest level. Today, the George Pocock Rowing Foundation continues the work he began and upholds his ideals with their vision: “Everyone has the opportunity to row and strive for excellence on the water.” Through building and supporting rowing programs and facilities, the Pocock Foundation promotes access to rowing, excellence in rowing, and uses rowing as a means to foster physical activity, health, leadership, and community engagement.
