On Sept. 20, the Chattahoochee River along Roswell's Azalea Park will be flowing with activity as more than 400 rowers from the metro area join together to raise money for breast cancer research.
Crew members from numerous clubs - including Saint Andrew Rowing Club for youth in North Fulton - as well as collegiate rowers, will row 12 hours in hopes of surpassing last year's $30,000 raised for Row for the Cure, an event that benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Rowers will be gathering pledges over the next month. Anyone wanting to observe this Olympic sport, seldom seen in Atlanta, is welcome to attend and highly encouraged to support the fundraising effort; the teams will collect donations on-site.
In addition, Sky Wash Detail is offering a free exterior car wash to anyone making a $5 donation at the business for Row for the Cure through Sept. 30. The car wash is at 11865 Alpharetta Hwy, Roswell.
Please contact Suzanne McBride at 770-380-4822 or suzannejmcbride@gmail.com.
