Sponsors of Gentle Giant Rowing Club
GGRC simply could not do the work we do without the support of sponsors. Our masters programming is self funding but our Juniors program and the outreach programs we do are not. GGRC currently works with Somerville High School, Everett High School, and Children's Hospital to provide access to rowing. The money we receive in donations allow us to purchase new equipment and maintain our current equipment at peak levels. We thank our sponsors for their support!
This page is to recognize our 2018 sponsors for their support. Gentle Giant Moving Company is our title sponsor and they are recognized on a separate page for their annual generous donation.
Title Sponsor - Gentle Giant Moving Company
Gentle Giant was founded in 1980 by Larry O’Toole, a former Northeastern University rower and native of Ireland. The company’s success has often been attributed to its rowing heritage and approach to moving as a sport, requiring dedication and teamwork. Many Gentle Giant employees are current or former athletes from a wide variety of sports and competitive backgrounds. Current and former employees include both Olympic, collegiate and club rowers.
An award-winning local and long-distance moving company, based in 20 cities across 10 states. The company’s lineup of services includes local, long-distance and international residential moves, commercial moves, craning and specialty moving, piano moving, climate-controlled storage, packing and unpacking services, and a moving box delivery and packing materials service.
Gentle Giant’s core values can be encompassed in what is referred to as the Giant HEART, present in their employees who are: honest, enthusiastic, always going above and beyond, respectful, and team players. Gentle Giant customers expect and deserve nothing less than a job well done, and their staff are committed to living the values of the Giant HEART every day to make sure they are providing the highest quality moving service in the industry.
Gentle Giant Charitable Foundation was founded in 2005, with the goal of strengthening the community involvement which has characterized the business since the beginning.
GGCF focuses on two central issues: youth leadership development through athletics and education, and housing assistance through homelessness prevention. Gentle Giant prides itself on developing leaders within the company through training and coaching programs and strives to extend the same commitment to local youth.

The VHP series is our newest and fastest boat line-up to date.
Our revolutionary design minimizes the increase in drag as hull speed increases, while lifting higher out of the water during the recovery cycle. Faster acceleration during the drive allows crews to hold speed between strokes better than ever before.
