The Prouty
The Prouty is an annual cancer fundraiser by the Friends of Dartmouth Cancer Center that was started 44 years ago. Since then, millions of dollars have been raised by thousands of participants, all of which goes directly to cancer research and patient care at the Dartmouth Cancer Center.
Friends of Hanover Crew started participating in the Prouty as a team over 15 years ago, and since then has raised close to 2 million dollars. Cancer has touched both coaches and other members of our FOHC community, making the Prouty an important mission for our organization to support.
In addition to an important cause, the Prouty’s also fun! There are Prouty rewards for fundraising, and a huge “Prouty Party” at the Richmond Middle School on the day of, with free food and live music. You can participate any way you’d like – you can bike or walk on one of their routes with pit stops, row on the Connecticut River, or even do your own virtual Prouty from anywhere else in the world.
We hope that everyone in the FOHC community, both rowers and supporters, will join us this year in fundraising for the Prouty. You can help us by registering to join our team, or making a donation to one of our members, or to our team as a whole! Every little bit helps.
Below you’ll find some useful resources to help you understand the Prouty process. If you have any questions, please talk to the 2025 FOHC Prouty team captains, Eli and Helah Snelling – Eli is a novice boys coach, while Helah is a Dartmouth senior and HHS Crew alum. You can also email FOHCprouty@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support! Together we are changing lives. Together we will end cancer.
Go Friends of Hanover Crew!
