About the Gold Cup
The mission of the Philadelphia Gold Challenge Cup Foundation, a 501©3 nonprofit, is to promote and educate about the sport of single scull rowing on an amateur level among the general public, particularly youth, by hosting annual competitions, educational programs and scholarships. The flagship competition held by the Foundation is The Gold Cup race. The Gold Cup race is deeply rooted in Philadelphia tradition and history, with the solid gold cup and race created in the 1920s to honor the achievements of John Kelly, who won the gold medal for single sculls in the 1920 Olympics.
Youth Outreach
The Gold Cup Youth Outreach helps spread rowing, athletics, and healthy lifestyles. We offer middle school students at St. James School in North Philadelphia a Learn-to-Row program. They meet gold and silver medalists from across the globe during the week of the Gold Cup.
Our middle school rowing program serves the under-resourced North Philadelphia community. The Gold Cup provides learn to row coaching, on-campus and at the Conshohocken Rowing Center free of charge.
