Supporting Cal Lightweight Rowing - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
Alumni-powered. Athlete-focused. Building a legacy of excellence at Berkeley
At Friends of California Lightweight Rowing (FCLR), we connect Cal Lightweight rowing alumni, supporters and athletes to ensure our program thrives now and for generations. You believe in great, tradition and competitive fire of Cal Lightweights - together we turn that belief into action.
Honoring the tradition. Supporting today’s athletes. Building tomorrow’s legacy.
We exist because Lightweight Rowing at Cal has shaped lives. Because generations of athletes rowed with heart, often overcoming challenges using nothing but teamwork, passion, and resilience. And now, it’s our turn to give back — to support the next boat, the next class, and the next chapter of a program rooted in pride, tradition, and possibility.
Fuel the Future of Cal Lightweight Rowing
Whether you want to volunteer, stay connected, or support today’s athletes, every action moves our program forward. Join us, reconnect, and help strengthen Cal Lightweight Rowing for the next generation.
“Rowing a race is an art, not a frantic scramble. It must be rowed with head power as well as hand power. From the first stroke all thoughts of the other crew must be blocked out. Your thoughts must be directed to you and your own boat, always positive, never negative.”
— George Pocock
