Toast in the Tower

Toast in the Tower: Celebrating Community, Connection, and Belonging in Rowing

Toast in the Tower is a celebration of the diverse individuals and communities helping shape the future of rowing. Hosted during the 2026 USRowing Youth National Championships in Sarasota, Florida, this gathering brings together athletes, coaches, referees, families, and supporters for an evening centered on connection and community.

Join us on Friday, June 12, at 7 p.m. ET in the VIP area (2nd floor of the finish tower) to hear from guest speakers, connect with others across the rowing community, and enjoy refreshments together. Through storytelling, celebration, and shared experiences, Toast in the Tower reflects United We Row’s commitment to cultivating welcoming environments where everyone can feel seen, valued, and supported in the sport.
